Anandpur Sahib has been the one of the most important pilgrimages for the Sikh followers for many reasons. It was here that Guru Gobind Singh baptized the first five Sikhs, the "Panch Pyaras". This place has a number of historical Gurudwaras, with a backdrop of Naina Devi Hill. On the day following the festival of Holi, devotees flock to Anandpur Sahib, to participate in the Hola Mohalla celebrations, re-enacting Sikh battles of yore, with ancient arms and weapons.
