• B. Guru Nanak Jayanti
• C. Baisakhi
• D. Lohri

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Guru Nanak Jayanti

The Sikh festival celebrated on the full moon day of Kartik month, according to the Hindu calendar, is Guru Nanak Jayanti, also known as Gurpurab. It is a Gazetted holiday in India. The controversial Bhai Bala Janamsakhi claims Guru Nanak was born on the Full Moon (Pooranmashi) of the Indian Lunar Month Kartik. The Sikhs have been celebrating Guru Nanak's Gurpurab around November for this reason, and it has been ingrained in Sikh Traditions.
