Wow, that is a great picture. The colors are striking.
It must be an honor to be chosen as one of the fives. Do they have to go through strict selection to be chosen as one?
Excellent shot. I love the rich colours!
Your photos are always so wonderfully colorful.
yellow, blue, orange and black – these colors are very symbolic in Thailand. I find the flags interesting too. happy wednesday.
The colorful, pretty photo strikes the right note as you teach us about traditions. Great job!
I’m always impressed by the honor and reverence shown to the scriptures and symbols of Sikhism.
I would have never dreamed of combining those colors, but they are lovely, and I am sure they have symbolic significance as well. I wonder why my closet is filled with black!
Lovely photo, and the story of how the Panj Pyara began is fascinating! How wonderful that both men and women are allowed this high honor — so many times I see segregation of one form or another.
What a stunning photo! Beautiful colors and an interesting angle really capture the moment and give a you-are-there feeling to it!
Beautiful shot. Lovely bright colors.
Vibrant!
Great shot!
BK Any initiate would be qualified to act as one of the five.
Wonderful shot. I love the flags and the faces are wonderful.
As always I am amazed by the rich colors associated with Sikh celebrations. I learn so much from you SK!
