In 2016, I blogged about the
opening ceremony for the construction of the Sikh Heritage Trail in Adenia Reserve, near where I live.
I used to frequent this reserve with Flemington, but since his death I have hardly ever stopped there in the past few years.

In recent weeks, I have started taking Ripper there, though, and he appears to love the reserve as much as Flemington did.

The Sikh Heritage Trail was actually completed quite a while back and consisted of concrete pathways leading to various benches with metal "placards" that describe various aspects of Sikh life in WA.

The actual cremation site was a 40 metre square of land gazetted for the Sikhs to use. The orange triangle in the above picture marks the south-west corner and the orange post in the following picture marked the south-east corner.

A lot of them there? We have a Sikh Temple here in Sibu but I do not think there are many of them, turban and all. I wonder if they celebrate Deepavali, Tuesday, 6th November this year.
ReplyDeleteThere's quite a few. We have a very big Sikh temple not far from us. Don't know about Deepavali but there's also a large Hindu temple nearby.
