Sikh devotees from both India and Pakistan will come together at the Zero Line for a special ardas. This prayer marks the reopening of the Kartarpur Corridor, which connects Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur with Gurdwara Sri Kartarpur Sahib in Narowal district, Pakistan.
The gathering is set to take place on Monday. The Sikh sangat from both countries will join in this prayer at the border line.
Kartarpur Corridor Reopening: Who Will Attend the Ardas at Zero Line
On the Indian side, Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj will arrive at the Zero Line near Dera Baba Nanak. His presence highlights the importance of this event for the Sikh community in India.
From Pakistan, Ramesh Singh Arora, president of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (PSGPC), shared details about the event. He said a Nagar Kirtan has been scheduled from Gurdwara Sri Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur Sahib, to the Zero Line.
The procession is expected to reach the border at around 5:30 pm (Indian time). This Nagar Kirtan will be a key part of the day's events.
Why Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Matters for Sikh Devotees
Gurdwara Darbar Sahib is the final resting place of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism. For Sikhs around the world, this site holds deep spiritual meaning.
The Kartarpur Corridor allows devotees to visit this holy site without needing a visa. Its reopening is a significant moment for the community.
The special ardas at the Zero Line brings together the Sikh sangat from both sides of the border. It is a moment of shared faith and unity.
Our Take: A Bridge of Faith Reopens
In our view, the reopening of the Kartarpur Corridor is more than just a travel route. It is a bridge that connects people to their spiritual heritage. The joint ardas at the Zero Line shows that faith can bring people together, even across borders.
For devotees, this corridor is a direct link to the final resting place of Guru Nanak Dev. The fact that both Indian and Pakistani Sikhs will pray together at the Zero Line sends a strong message of unity.
To put it plainly, this event matters because it makes it easier for Sikhs to visit one of their most sacred sites. The Nagar Kirtan and the special ardas are not just rituals — they are expressions of a shared identity that goes beyond politics.
Readers should see this as a positive step. When a corridor like this reopens, it allows faith to flow freely. The gathering at the Zero Line is a reminder that spiritual connections can overcome physical barriers.
