Gurpurab or Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti is a major and joyous festival celebrated by Sikhs to honour the birth of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru and the Khalsa Panth's founder.

February 16 is celebrated as the birth anniversary of Guru Ravidas, a Bhakti movement saint during the 15th to 16th century CE who worked for the eradication of caste system and untouchability.
