Buddhists honour this day because Lord Buddha had given his first sermon on this day, after getting enlightened, at Sarnath in Uttar Pradesh. He is, therefore, considered to be the guru whose teachings are worth celebrating. In the yogic tradition, however, Lord Shiva is seen as the first ever guru. It is believed he had appeared to the saptarishis, or the seven sages, in the Himalayas on this day as a yogi himself, to give them an understanding of Yogic learnings. This is the reason that Shiva is also hailed as Adiyogi.
