Parbhaat means morning time; i.e., after 4 am. Pheri means roaming or making a round. Together, the words stand for a mini-procession which makes the rounds in a neighbourhood, starting in the early hours, singing praises of Waheguru in the form of shabads and kirtan. It is accompanied by a person carrying the Nishaan Sahib, the Sikh Standard. It generally stops en route at a private home or business premises – a different one each day, depending on who has volunteered to do tea-and-snacks seva that day. These pheris are held daily, commencing a couple of weeks before each major gurpurab. It prepares the community and puts it in the mood of the upcoming high holiday.
