Colorful outfits. Nice shot.

What a nice combination of celebration and reverence.

They all look alike right down to their beards. Very colorful!

As usual, a lovely and colorful photo to match a lovely and honorable tradition! Thank you for teaching us about your culture and faith.

Sikhism certainly has no end of colorful traditions and ceremonies.

Very colorful parade. Why the ones carrying flags didn’t wear shoes?

That is REALLY cool!!

Happy WW!

Every Sikh parade involves a float which carries Siri Guru Granth Sahib the everlasting guru of the Sikhs in scripture form. Traditionally shoes are not worn in the worship place for purposes of cleanliness and respect. Those not wearing shoes are showing devotion to their Guru. It is not mandatory to remove shoes in a parade but some very devout people elect to do so as a an added form of respect.

What a wonderfully colorful formation! And reading more about the Panj Pyara makes it all the more meaningful. Thank you, Sukhmandir!

Wonderful colors. I’d love to wear that tunic and shawl. Why did
Guru Gobind Rai, want to decapitate the men?

What an eye-catching spectacle they make.

Giving the head is symbolic for decapitation of ego.

So colorful. I admire the devout marchers who chose not to wear shoes.

Thanks for sharing this colorful photo. Great shot!

What a gorgeous photo, and I love how dignified and serious all the men look. It’s easy to tell how important this occasion is to them.

Looks like an important moment! Love the colors!

Such a vibrant, colorful picture. And what a perfect canvas for an October WW. You can feel the leaves falling in the picture.

Fascinating! I love the bold colors and the rich culture celebrations. Makes me miss my country.
