Hola Mohalla

Hola Mohalla

Sikh mela, or festival, established in the 16th century by Guru Gobind Singh for the practice of defence skills, and to discourage Sikhs from celebrating the Hindu festival of Holi. It is held in February/March. The emphasis today is on wrestling, fencing, and archery tournaments, with music, poetry, and fairground attractions. The mela is celebrated mainly at Anandpur in the Punjab, the venue of the first Hola Mohalla. Visitors may visit local shrines and gurdwaras (Sikh temples). The festival ends with a procession behind the gurdwara flags.
