The Sikh Temple on Terra Buena Road was founded in 1969 on the 500th Birthday of Guru Nanak Dev ji. This temple, having grown by leaps and bounds over the past 28 years, now serves one of the largest, if not the largest, concentration of Punjabi-American immigrants and followers of the Sikh religion in the United States.
The gurdwara is located in the Yuba Valley, near Fresno California, where grapes, prunes and raisins are major food crops and agriculture is the main industry.
Each year, from its first year of existence, at this time the Gurdwara hosts a celebration in honor of the Gurgaddi of Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib. This year will be the 29th celebration. The celebration takes place over 3 days. And of late has been covered by television media. TV media coverage has been extensive for several years.
You may be able to view part of the celebration on Saturday on television if you live in the California area, or have the right satellite connection. There is an Internet link for streaming coverage. I will check periodically tomorrow to see if it really works. If you are interested, then check this thread periodically for my updates.
Here is a bit of news coverage from several celebrations from the past, including last year's celebration of the Guru Granth Sahibji -- with a lot of pics at this link.
