Event Description : Baisakhi Festival. 
The International Festival of Sacred Arts, part of The Attic (Amarjit Bhagwant Singh Charitable Trust) is back with a Baisakhi Festival supported by Sir Sobha Singh Public Charitable Trust.
This festival explores Punjabi culture through its music, textiles and art. Undivided Punjab was the land of 5 rivers, 3 cultures, 3 languages, 3 religions, with a rich heritage of sufi shrines and music, Sikh artists and Hindu singers.  Partition with the West going to Pakistan and a further partition between the states of Punjab and Haryana has most cruelly split the rivers, the music and the language and therefore almost its raison d’etre. Terrorism, Operation Blue Star and 1984 would have been the final nail in the coffin of this culture.
However the Punjabi chak de (go for it) attitude has resulted in a revival of the food, the music, the textiles and the spirit of this now world wide community. The spirit of Punjab now lives on not only in Ludhiana but in London, in Chandigarh and in Canayda, in Amritsar and in Amrika. The sense of humour is back too.
