Speaking on the occasion, Purohit said the state-of-the-art and multi-purpose auditorium was well-equipped with latest technology and will facilitate a range of high-profile in-house events.

He said the auditorium was named after Guru Nanak Dev, who always advocated the concept of universal brotherhood. Its name, he said, will be a constant reminder to all those working at the Punjab Raj Bhavan to engage in selfless service, be honest and upright, and strive for social justice for the benefit of humanity.

Pertinently, the foundation stone of the auditorium was laid in October 2019 to commemorate the 550th Parkash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev. Spread over 48,000 square feet, the facility can house nearly 500 people.
