Guru Nanak was born on 15 April 1469, now celebrated as Prakash Divas of Guru Nanak Dev, into a Hindu

Khatri family in the village of Ri Bhi d Talwand, now called Nankana Sahib, near Lahore, [3] Pakistan. Today, his birthplace is marked by Gurdwara Janam Asthan. Some are of the opinion that 20 October is his enlightenment day rather than his birthday. His father, Kalyan Chand Das Bedi, [4] popularly shortened to Kalu Mehta, was the patwari (accountant) of crop revenue for the village of [5] Talwandi in the employment of a Muslim landlord of that area, Rai Bular Bhatti. Guru Nanaks mother was Tripta Devi and he had one elder sister, Bibi Nanaki who became a spiritual figure in her own right.
