Bare feet parade

Coming from the supermarket going home we were surprised by a parade. Something you see rarely or not at all in the Netherlands.
The Sikhs in the Netherlands were celebrating Vaisakhi, the birth of modern Sikhism which falls at the same time as the harvest festival in the Punjab.
very impressive and colorful
and that you don't expect
on your daily shopping round in Almere. (I didn't know that we have so many Sikhs living in Almere). One for Our World Tuesday here.

  4. I think the occasion was marked here as well. There are Sikhs to be found here, particularly out in British Columbia and the Greater Toronto Area.

Because of some annoying messages I have to check the posts sent to my blog. No anonymous remarks, sorry for that.
