'Turban Day' celebrated at Times Square in New York
In order to spread awareness about the Sikh identity and culture, 'Turban Day' was organised at New York's Times Square on Saturday by the non-profit group The Sikhs of New York. Volunteers tied colourful turbans to close to 8,000 Americans and tourists from different nationalities and ethnicities. The New York authorities had earlier declared April 15, 2017 as 'Turban Day'.
