In the Sikh calendar, there are also twelve months, and November 14th is the first day of the “Maghar” month.

Here is the shabad for “Maghar” month from “Baareh Maahaa” (12 months) gurbani from Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

In the month of Maghar, those who sit with their Beloved Husband Lord are beautiful.

How can their glory be measured? Their Lord and Master blends them with Himself.
