Penang Vasakhi Open House 2010


Vasakhi Open House
Date: 24th April 2010 (Saturday)
Time: 7pm to 10pm
Venue: Fort Cornwallis, Penang
Organizer: Malaysian Sikh Youth Organization Penang & Sikh Naujawan Sabha Malaysia (Penang)



A great carnival will be held this Saturday when the Sikh's in Penang celebrate the Vasakhi open house. You are invited to Fort Cornwallis to witness the colourful Vasakhi celebration.

Malaysia as a country of multiculturalism, it is important for understanding and tolerating other races and embedding the values of racial diversity and cultural diversity. The message of Vaisakhi has particular relevance today in multi-cultural and multi-faith Malaysia as it promotes cultural diversity and Muhibbah.

The first aspect to Vasakhi is to celebrate the religious Khalsa Janam Divas and the second aspect to Vasakhi is the cultural aspect to commemorate the harvest festival where the happiness of the farmers is shared in singing and dancing.
