Stock Market Holiday on November 5, 2025
Guru Nanak Jayanti, also known as Guru Nanak Gurpurab, marks the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji — the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. Celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) in the month of Kartik, the festival’s date varies each year as per the lunar calendar.
The day, also called Prakash Gurpurb, holds deep spiritual significance for the Sikh community and is observed with prayers, religious processions, and community meals (langars) at gurdwaras across the country. Apart from its religious importance, Guru Nanak Jayanti is also one of the major cultural holidays listed in the annual stock market calendar, when trading at the BSE and NSE remains closed.
