Gathering marks celebration of spring harvest
Thousands gathered in Rutland Saturday at Okanagan Sikh Gurdwara celebrate Vaisakhi.
For Sikhs, predominantly in Northern India, the day is a chance to celebrate the spring harvest.
In Kelowna, faithful and community members descended on the Sikh temple to mark the occasion, as well as Nagar Kirtan, which is the processional singing of holy hymns by a group in a residential area. As part of it, the temple’s Guru is ushered around to bless a neighbourhood.
