I recently had the privilege of spending the day with a lovely family who were celebrating their twin daughters first birthday. Their action packed day started at the
Guru Har Rai Gurdwara Sahib, a Sikh temple in the heart of West Bromwich. Family members attended a blessing for the lovely twin girls Lara & Aanya within the bustling temple in one of the magnificently decorated halls. The ceremony commencing with readings from a scripture which was constantly sung mesmerisingly to the worshipers. This was then followed by live traditional music and ceremonial rituals with the twins taking centre stage. The family then joined the rest of the worshipers at the temple that day in one large communal kitchen, sharing a meal and chatting with old friends.
Following the blessing, guests headed over to the family home where food and entertainment had been laid on for all.
