Fascinating! Interesting how they hold them low, by their elbow and notice how the bass drone is put under the epaulet.

Interesting, how they wrap their Turbans over their ears.

Interesting! complete with Maypole. Are those Pakistani pipes?

That's because they're almost certainly Sikhs; that's the traditional way to wear the dastar (Sikh turban).

They're actually pretty darn good. They seem a lot like one of the old Royal regiment pipe bands from the Punjab that often performs in Scotland.

There was a kilted contingent of bagpipers in this year's annual Sikh Day parade this year. They are led by an Afro-Scottish-American leader. If I can find the youtube of that, would that go in the celtic music section?

Last year, I happened to stumble on this event on my way to a kilt meet. The people loved my kilt, especially the older ones. I guess it reminded them of their youth, when a united India was under British rule, and kilts were common.
