Sikh celebration

Vaisakhi is essentially the birth of my religion. Personally for me, my family and I meet up with my other relatives on the day and celebrate it at the park along with the other Sikhs there and we also go to the gurdwara (place of worship) to celebrate the day :) The orange image is the symbol is called khanda, this is a double edged sword that shows our belief in one God. It consists of a circle (chakkar) similar to the Kara (a bangle Sikhs wear on their wrist) represents God has no beginning or end. And two crossed kirpans (knives/swords) that represent spiritual authority and political power :) One thing to note is please don’t confuse my religion with Hinduism and Islam.
