[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 143470, member: 35"] Ecosikh asks Hola Mohalla and Anandpur Sahib be declared plastic free WASHINGTON:An international Sikh Group EcoSikh has appealed to Giani Tarlochan Singh, Jathedar of Takhat Keshgarh to persuade authorities and the pilgrims coming to Anandpur Sahib to not use plastic bags and plastic products and have it banned in this sacred site of the Sikhs. The opening of three day Holla Mohalla festival at Anandpur sahib starts on March 14th which is the Gurgaddi (enthronement day) Diwas of Guru Har Rai ji, the 7th Guru of the Sikhs who became Guru in 1644. Guru Har Rai was a great humanitarian who had special sensitivity towards nature preservation and the well-being of animals. He maintained an extensive herbal garden for medicinal purposes in Kiratpur Sahib few miles from Anandpur Sahib in Punjab. March 14th is being celebrated as Sikh Environment Day by Sikhs all over the world.
