Bandi Chhor Divas is a day on which Guru Hargobind Sahib was released with 52 Kings from Gwalior Prison. The word "Bandi" means "imprisoned", "Chhor" means "release" and "Divas" means "day" and together "Bandi Chhor Divas" means Prisoner Release Day
Happy Bandi Chhor Divas and Happy Diwali to all who celebrate 🪔🧡🙏🏼
