Former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad on Tuesday prayed at the Takht Sri Harmandir Sahib, the birthplace of the 10th Sikh Guru, Gobind Singh.

"We have welcomed all the devotees and our government has been doing everything possible to ensure their comfortable visit," Lalu Prasad told the media.

Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh also offered prayers at the shrine.

On Monday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal visited the shrine.

The main function will be held on January 5, attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.

Guru Gobind Singh was born on December 22, 1666. He was annointed the supreme leader of the Sikhs at the age of nine, becoming the last of the living Sikh gurus.
