Guru Nanak Jayanti 2022

A Nihang performs 'Gatka', an ancient form of Sikh martial arts, inside a Gurudwara compound on the eve of the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev in Mumbai, India, 07 November, 2022. Gatka is a Punjabi word that translates to wooden sticks, which are used instead of swords. Having been passed down generations and preserved in Sikh history, Gatka uses the sword as the main weapon, amongst others. It is considered to be a spiritual as well as physical exercise. Both these aspects of the person are developed to a high level during the learning phase of this ancient art. (Photo by Indranil Aditya/NurPhoto)
