Sikhs Celebrate Hola Mohalla

Men stretch out their hands for a bowl of Bhang, or cannabis, at the annual fair of Hola Mohalla in Anandpur Sahib, 80 kilometers north of Chandigarh. Believers from various parts of northern India gather at the religious fair celebrating the festival of Holi in a tradition set by the tenth Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh, in the 17th century. The Nihangs display their martial skills and attire during the fair, believed to maintain the exact tradition as was established by the Guru
