Guru Ravidass Jayanti is observed in several Indian states, including Chandigarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra, every year on February 1. This holiday celebrates the birthday of Guru Ravidas, an influential Indian poet, saint, and religious reformer from the 14th to 16th centuries. The day is marked by a significant ceremony at Shri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan Mandir in Seer Goverdhanpur, where a colorful procession featuring the guru's portrait takes place. Devotees, numbering over a million from India and abroad, gather to honor Guru Ravidas, who advocated for monotheism, the rights of the untouchables, and the importance of actions over caste. The Ravidassia religion, which emerged from his teachings, emphasizes the belief in one God and the spiritual equality of all individuals.
