Last guardians of the warrior traditions, thousands of Nihang monks roam across : a life of wandering dedicated to prayer, the practice of Martial Arts, and to the protection of the Sikhs, their front forward mission. To that end, they are excellent masters, a Martial Art practiced since the 17th century with sabers, daggers, maces and edge bracelets. Each year in March, the Hola Mohalla military parade in Anandpur Sahib is the opportunity for them to demonstrate their mastery of the Martial Arts; thus proving to the 3 millions of followers gathered from all over India their power and heroism.
