Bandhi Chhor Divas (Sikhism)
Bandhi Chhor Divas means “The day of the prisoner’s release.” It commemorates the return of the sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind Ji, to the holy city of Amritsar after his release from detention. Since he was released on the day of Diwali (the ‘Festival of Lights’), Sikhs in the Amritsar illuminate the city.
