A moment of profound reverence unfolded on November 1, 2025, at Takhat Sri Harmandir Ji Patna Sahib with the ceremonial enshrinement of the sacred Jore Sahib, the blessed footwear of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji. The event was graced by Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, Hon’ble Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, alongside a large congregation of devotees.
Guru Charan Yatra and Spiritual Significance
The enshrinement marked the culmination of the nine-day “Guru Charan Yatra,” where the holy relics journeyed from Delhi to Patna via Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar. The sacred Jore Sahib was received with immense devotion, escorted by the Panj Pyaras in a spiritually uplifting procession symbolizing unity, sacrifice, and faith. Thousands lined the yatra route to pay homage, creating a historic moment of communal and spiritual solidarity.
Shri Hardeep Singh Puri reflected on the event’s deep personal significance, tracing his family’s centuries-old service to Guru Maharaj, whose sacred relics were entrusted to his ancestors over 300 years ago. The occasion witnessed the presence of Bihar Governor Shri Arif Mohammad Khan and spiritual leaders from various faiths, emphasizing communal harmony.
Custodianship and Antiquity Validation
Before the yatra, the custody of the holy relics was transferred on October 22 to the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee and the Takhat Sri Patna Sahib Management Committee. The relic’s authenticity and conservation were meticulously validated by the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA). The Conservation Division of IGNCA, led by Dr. Sachchidanand Joshi and Prof. Achal Pandya, ensured the relics were preserved with scholarly rigor and sanctity.
Ongoing Spiritual and Cultural Legacy
The sacred relics now reside permanently at Takhat Sri Harmandir Ji Patna Sahib, the revered birthplace of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The Gurdwara remains a beacon for devotees seeking blessings and darshan. This landmark event honors the enduring spiritual radiance and legacy of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji, symbolizing devotion, service, and faith.
