On the occasion of Baisakhi, Turban day 2016 event at Times square NYC was organized by Non-profit organisation Sikhs of New York and New Jersey and the event’s organizers Bobby Sidana, Kawaldeep Sahni, Chanpreet Singh and Gurmeet Sodhi. The iconic Times Square was filled in with colors of the Sikh culture as thousands of community members gathered to celebrate Turban Day and educate fellow Americans about Sikhism in the wake of growing incidents of hate crimes and discrimination against them.
Legendary sportsman Milkha Singh graced the occasion and addressed the gathering, calling on the Sikh community to educate the young generation about the significance of the Sikh culture. Hundreds of excited tourists and children queued up to get turbans tied on their heads in bright colors by members of the Sikh community and took pictures and selfies wearing them. More than 2500 turbans were tied at this wonderful event.
