RAWANG: Month-long pray-ers to commemorate Guru Nanak's 538th birthday were held at one of the oldest Sikh temples in Malaysia.
Thousands of devotees flocked to the Nanaksar Temple from morning till evening to attend prayers for the Sikh founder.
"Hundreds of devotees came to attend the prayers and volunteered to cook for devotees throughout the month," temple president Ma- hinder Kaur said.
During the month, the Sikhs' holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, would be recited non-stop while religious hymns were sung during the evenings.
Other activities held were a blood donation drive and a procession of the holy book through Serendah town.
Guru Nanak, born in Punjab, preached on equality of all human beings, including women, and the concept of one God.
