The Twitter user wrote, “I was in Beijing for this Gurpurab, and had the incredible luck of experiencing this! Shabad kirtan on the Great Wall of China! That’s ONE way of getting over the homesickness haha.”
The unique video garnered varied reactions.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated the Integrated Check Post at the Kartarpur Corridor, a religious link first in seven decades between India and Pakistan, in Punjab's Gurdaspur district. The corridor is being thrown open to mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.
The inauguration of the Integrated Check Post will facilitate Indian pilgrims to visit to Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan.
