The Kartarpur corridor was opened 2019 on 550th celebration Of Guru Nanak Devji from Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur district to the international border, to facilitate pilgrims from India & Other parts of world to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur on the banks of the Ravi river, in Pakistan, where Shri Guru Nanak Devji spent 18 years. Pilgrims now able to visit the holy shrine throughout the year. The corridor has all modern amenities and facilities

This year due to pandemic we are not celebrating on large scale we will make langar ( food) give to poor. For the First time on Guru Nanak Jayanti Gurudwaras will be closed there won’t be any big celebration due to covid19. Only langar is served to poor following all rules & regulations…

Last year we had Grand Celebration .

“Nagarkirtan”
Prior to the birthday, a procession known as Nagarkirtan is organised, led by the Panj Pyaras carrying the Sikh flag, known as the Nishan Sahib and the Palki (Palanquin) of Guru Granth Sahib. We sing hyms & walk all the lanes near by Community people invited at there house we go to there house do Ardas then kada prasad is serve if they wish they serve tea snack. Like this we are invited it’s goes on for a week, but this year due to covid19 the Nagar Kirtan is cancelled.

Gurpurab day:
The day of Gurpurab begins with the morning hymns, followed by any combination of Kathas and Kirtan in the praise of the Guru. Later, a special community lunch (Langar) is organised followed by night prayer sessions at Gurudwaras and langar is served.

“Guru Nanak Devji’s teachings is filled with love, peace, equality,brotherhood and Eternal value”

Guru Nanak Devji started Guru ka Langar rich or poor have sit together & have food all are equal.

Still today we sikh follow the foot step we serve langar to everyone. This pandemic time Gurudwara are closed but langar is still serve in all the countries Gurudwara .

If there is no lockdown in your city , wear mask take safety measures Visit your area Gurudwara, seek blessings & have langar do tag me.

Prayer to God bless everyone, things become normal . We can celebrate the birth of Jesus, Christmas all over the world.

@TusharSuradkar

Thanks, Yes photography is prohibited in Gurudwara , Nanakana Sahib gurudwara Pakistan when corridor was open my brother cousin brother from US visited in December 2019 , they allowed to click photo of golden palki from inside so that more tourist visit without passport you can visit gurudwara from corridor. So I took photo from my brother.

In small gurudwara they don’t object , so last year I took pics of my area gurudwara. If you wish go have darshan of Nankana Sahib.

When I was in India I found that issue too that many places did not like you to take a photo. I found that plenty of them would let you do it if you paid a fee. I did wonder if the fee went to the place or the guards pocket @TusharSuradkar

At some temples and shrines I was ignored when taking photos and in some I was encouraged to take them and share so more people would see them but in some, yes the “no photo” sign or simply a waggling finger signalled no.

“…if the fee went to the place or the guards pocket…”

Dear @PaulPavlinovich - official fee (Tickets) may go to the shrine, but the unofficial fee is for the guard.

Yes, unfortunately, what you told is happening in different places.

The reason for banning photography is claimed under the Security of the shrine;

I really wonder whether prohibiting photography will help the protection of a place.

“…hope the full-fledged prayer will start with ALL devotee start coming without fear…”

Yer, dear @Anil6969 Ji… it may take a few more weeks, but surely it will happen.

Thanks for remembering

[Anil6969]

Prayfully @TravellerG

may god bless all

remember in prayers for all

[TusharSuradkar]

You are right in your observation @PaulPavlinovich

A few years back people had separate digital cameras and basic phones so still cameras and video cameras were charged on entry to a monument or shrine.

Now with smartphones with high-resolution cameras, the restriction has been lifted but some places may still not permit photography depending on their security concerns and policy. I haven’t come across a situation where a guard would allow someone to use a camera by taking a fee since that would be very obvious to other visitors who are not allowed to use a camera in the restricted area.

In the last few months, I have come across places that allow a smartphone and permit still-photographs but no video shooting.

A few other places allow still-photos and video shooting but no selfies since there were a high number of cases where people have endangered their life to take selfies at places like forts, etc.

When it comes to camera usage, I think they are more concerned about public safety than any security concerns about the PoI.
