Description
On the 90th Birthday of Nand Singh Banga, people gathered at the Gur Sikh temple, Abbotsford, to be a part of this occasion. The celebration began with prayers that are written in The Guru Granth Sahib (The Sikh Holy Book). Further, a kirtan was organized for everyone sitting inside the main hall. Mr. Banga received a siropa (an orange turban) as a gesture of respect from the Head Granthi.
