The 300th anniversary of Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is being celebrated in an interesting way by dholis in the UK. In 1999, 314 dhol players came together to set a record in the Guinness Book of World Records. This year, in honor of the 300th anniversary, dholfest is trying to set a new record. They’ve registered the event in accordance with Guinness Book of World Records guidelines.
dholfest will be a large outdoor staged event set to break the existing world record of 314 simultaneous dhol players, set in 1999 in Sandwell, West Midlands, UK.
This year we need 500+ players to join us in making this dream come true!
The event is also being dedicated to Ishmeet Singh.
Media XY would like to dedicate this event as a tribute to Ishmeet Singh who was the winner of Star Voice of India. Ishmeet sadly passed away due to drowning in a pool of a resort in Maldives on Tuesday 29 July 2008 aged only 19.
May God give peace and solace to your eternal soul and strength to your loved ones.
Additional info:
The event will take place on Saturday 13th September 2008 in Victoria Square, Birmingham, as part of ArtsFest.
The occasion will mark the celebrations of the 300th Anniversary of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji – as the word Guru
