The British Army celebrated the Sikh festival of Holla Mohalla. Tracing back to the 18th century, it was initiated by Guru Gobind Singh to honor military prowess. Organized by the Defence Sikh Network (DSN), soldiers participated in traditional games and martial arts, symbolizing courage and readiness. Held at Ash Ranges in Hampshire, south-east England, the event included military shooting competitions and tug of war. Rang, the throwing of colored powder, marked victory. The festival, embraced by Sikhs in the armed forces, underscores Sikh martial tradition and values, promoting inclusion within the Ministry of Defence.
