Guru purnima is also known as teacher's day. It falls on a full-moon day according to the Nepali month and calendar. The word Guru is made up of two words like gu and ru from Sanskrit. It means someone who removes the darkness of ignorance and one who provides knowledge. On this day, we honour Gurus and teachers, thanking them for being a guiding star in our lives. People pay respect to teachers all over the country, from spiritual gurus to secular ones.
