Thank you Jacob hope you enjoy it while finding out a bit more about the event and I'll be eagerly waiting for you to post it here how it went for you.


You are right the actual date has passed on 14th Apr but the event despite being booked in advance it was the slot available I suppose. Also knowing that Vasakhi is on 14th did you go to any local Sikh Temple to see how it is actually celebrated. There are processions throughout the month all over the world including UK. There is one on 20th in Sedgley Street Wolverhampton if you are near in the afternoon enjoy it.
