SIKHS of NY

The purpose of the turban day campaign is to bring awareness among all americans and other world citizens about turban and its values in sikh faith to help correct the misperceptions about turban through which we share the values of love, faith, equality and social justice. Every year, turban day brings together hundreds of volunteers from the sikh community to tie colorful turbans on new yorkers, tourists from across the world, and americans from across the country visiting times square. While tying the turbans, we also talk about the sikh heritage, identity and make those getting the turbans tied aware of the culture. The turban day event has been aimed at spreading awareness among americans and other nationalities about the sikh religion and its articles of faith, especially the turban, which has often been misconceived and misidentified.
