Non-profit group ‘The Sikhs of New York’ organised the ‘Turban Day’ at Times Square here yesterday, with its volunteers tying colourful turbans to close to 8000 Americans and tourists hailing from different nationalities and ethnicities. “We are spreading awareness about the Sikh turban and culture. Turban Day provides an opportunity for those that do not wear a turban to experience a turban and learn about its significance first hand,” he said. Those who got the turbans tied, including young children, were seen excitedly taking pictures and proudly walking around with their new head gear. Fallon Mendz, a young student, said she got the turban tied on her head as she liked exploring different cultures.
