Join UNITED SIKHS to Celebrate California Sikh Awareness and Appreciation Month!
California, USA-UNITED SIKHS congratulates its volunteers and supporters on the fourth annual Sikh Awareness month in California, USA.

"Tie a Turban Day"

This year, we encourage all California residents to do their part to spread awareness about Sikhism and its followers. If you would like to organize a UNITED SIKHS Turban Tying Day or an Anti-Bullying Workshop, contact [email protected].
