WSN network

Middlesbrough: To celebrate Vaisakhi, the start of a new religious year and the founding of Sikhism more than 300 years ago, followers held a Nagar Kirtan.

A Nagar Kirtan is a march accompanied by prayers where Sikhs can invite the community to learn about their religion.

Dr Gursharan Singh, General Secretary of the Sikh Temple in Lorne Street, Middlesbrough, said he thought the event was the first of it’s kind in the North-east.

He said: “Sikhs have been living on Teesside since after the Second World War, and this is the first time we have held a Nagar Kirtan.
