Introduction to Sikhs and Hola Mahalla

In this video, Sikhs and the festival of Hola Mahalla are explored.

The interview took place during Hola Mahalla, and is an extract from a longer documentary called 'Hola Mahalla: The Forgotten Festival'

The festival Hola Mahalla is celebrated by the Sikh community annually during the lunar month of Chett, which falls in March or April, depending on the lunar calendar. It's a tradition started by the Tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, around 1700 AD.
