“On this day in 1699, the 10th Guru in Sikhism, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, established the Khalsa,” Gill said. “This is a way for us to be able to share our culture, our values with the world and really be out and seen and be able to show people what Sikhism is, what it stands for, what our values are.”
