There was a political meeting for pre-election advertisement by local Congress leaders which is “hamari pyaari beham Sonia Ghandi’s party” ( “the party of our loving sister Sonia Ghandi”...lol...!!!) in front of the Jallianwala Bagh Memorial in Amritsar (Punjab).
A man started shouting in a microphone for a few minutes and little by little an huge crowd was there listening to his speech and the traffic was jamed.
When it ended this group of Sardar-jis were in the middle of the street, I liked this swirl of turbans with several colours that I could see from the window of where I was standing.

Sardar (Persian: سردار ) is a title of Persian origin, used for military or political leaders.
The word's cognate in Persian, Sirdar, means commander.
Literally sar means "head" while dar means "holder" in Persian.
Thus, the term Sardar may also mean a military or political leader, comparable to the English chieftain.
In India/Pakistan, in Punjabi, Hindi and other Indian languages, the word often refers to a male follower of the Sikh faith.
Often, the -ji is added to the word to denote respect, resulting in the word "Sardarji".
The word may convey several meanings, often associated with military authority.
In Sikhism, sardar refers to a man who has a beard, hair and covers their hair with a turban and Sikhs often use Sardar as prefix to their name instead of Mister, e.g. Sardar Surjit Singh.

Baraat (Hindi: बरात) (Urdu: برات) is a bridegroom's wedding procession in North India and Pakistan. In North Indian communities, it is customary for the bridegroom to travel to the wedding venue (often the bride's house) on a mare, accompanied by his family members.
The baraat can become a large procession, with its own band, dancers, and budget. The groom and his horse are covered in finery and do not usually take part in the dancing and singing; that is left to the "baraatis" or people accompanying the procession. The groom usually carries a sword. The term baraati is also more generically used to describe any invitee from the groom's side. Traditionally, baraatis are attended to as guests of the bride's family.
The baraat, headed by a display of fireworks and accompanied by the rhythm of the dhol, reaches the meeting point, where the elders of both the families meet. In North Indian Hindu weddings, the groom is greeted with garlands and aarti. In traditional North Indian weddings, baraats are welcomed at the wedding venue with the sound of shehnais, which are considered auspicious at weddings by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs alike. ~Wikipedia
Bhangra funk dhol ‘n’ brass.
The dhol is the double-sided barrel drum that Sunny Jain wields on the left...
a North Indian riff on drum and bass.
And a genre I never fathomed... instanly compelling, with an infectious enthusiasm rippling out through the crowd.
These guys rocked the house but I can't find the video, nor any online that quite do them justice. This gig at Lotus was the closest.
(and I am reminded that I have a multi-TB drive from TED awaiting a promised download of my decade of TED photos, but I can't bring myself to do it until I have looked at all of them, like this one from 2012)
A Baraat is a bridegroom's wedding procession.
In North Indian communities, it is customary for the bridegroom to travel to the wedding venue (often the bride's house) on a mare, accompanied by his family & friends.
The groom and his horse are covered in finery and do not usually take part in the dancing and singing; that is left to the "baraatis" or people accompanying the procession.
In the North Indian tradition, a baraat is a wedding procession, usually accompanied by a loud brass band, during which the groom (sitting on a horse) and his guests are parading in the streets before being welcomed by the bride's family.
