Venue | Gurdwara Sikh Sangat 43 Harley Grove, London, E3 2AT |
We are pleased to inform you that the Gurdwara Sikh Sangat (Sikh Temple) with the support of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and the Metropolitan Police are to host again a celebration of both diversity and harmony in our community. These cross-cultural events are a unique opportunity to share in a fun and enjoyable way the rich cultures that we live in. This is a dual celebration of both Diwali (known to Sikhs as ‘Bandi Chhor Divas’) & Bonfire Night. As you are no doubt aware, Bonfire Night celebrates the failed plot by Guy Fawkes in 1605, whereas Sikhs (who originate from the Punjab region in India) celebrate Diwali/Bandi Chhor Divas in recognition of their 6th Sikh Guru, Shri Guru Hargobind Ji, who peacefully saved 52 Kings and Princes from life imprisonment by securing their release in 1628. | |
