Hola Mohalla is an annual festival held at the Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib, Anandpur sahib in March or April and culminates on the day of Holi. The highlight is a procession by the Nihang Singhs, a charming lot of sikhs who were originally the Sikh army suicide squad. Their language is still full of charming braggadasio and its a whole lot of fun. The gentleman above is one Sardar Major Singh. That turban uses up 400 m of cloth and weighs approx 35 kgs. I wear a turban too. But thats a light weight layman turban. If you click on the ratemyturban.com link along side this blogpost, you can find a lot about different types of turbans.
