The Martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur is observed on November 24, commemorating the ninth Sikh guru who was executed in 1675 for refusing to convert to Islam under the orders of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. This memorial day is recognized in some parts of India and by Sikhs worldwide, honoring Guru Tegh Bahadur's contributions to Sikhism, including his hymns in the Guru Granth Sahib and his extensive travels to preach the teachings of Guru Nanak. Guru Tegh Bahadur, born Tyaga Mal, was the youngest son of the sixth guru, Guru Hargobind, and was anointed as the ninth guru after a series of succession events following the deaths of his predecessors. The day serves as a solemn reminder of his sacrifice and is marked by prayers and remembrance among Sikhs both in India and abroad.
