The participants would be teenagers in two categories of Class V to VII and Class VIII to X, and the entry and registration can be done up to June 18, said Haryana Sikh Mission in-charge Mangpreet Singh
The competition is being organised with the efforts of
SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal, SGPC dharam prachar (religion
propagation) committee secretary Manjit Singh, Gurdwara Panjokhra Sahib manager
Sukhdev Singh and Mangpreet Singh.
“Participants would have to register themselves on the mobile numbers8059121580 and 9416361984 via WhatsApp and send their videos of 2-3 minutes tenure of gatka performance up to June 24. The results will be declared at 6pm on June 30 and judges will be gatka experts and coaches,” said Mangpreet.
“The concept of Miri-Piri was introduced by Guru Hargobind Sahib, who wore two swords — one symbolising worldly (political) authority and the other spiritual authority,” said Mangpreet.
“The online competition has been conceived to
indulge youth in traditional martial arts for physical fitness. Participants
may send videos of performance from their respective places and no one will
have to visit anywhere and the same will be judged,” added Mangpreet.
Registration in-charge Satnam Singh said they
had gotten 72 entries and more were expected in remaining two days. “In both
categories, top five participants will be selected. They will be awarded with
mementos and certificates. In the final stage, the general knowledge of
participants regarding Sikh history will be checked and winners will be
selected on the basis of answers,” he said.
