SDI hosted a drawing contest for Sikh Dharma community members around the world to share their drawings of Guru Nanak, or any aspect of his life or his Bani, with our global community to celebrate Guru Nanak Dev ji’s birthday and legacy in a spirit of love, reverence and creative expression!

After the drawings were submitted, the global SDI community voted for their favorite drawings.
