Sikhs gather in the town of Anandpur Sahib during Hola Mohalla, where some show off their martial prowess. Pictures of fire-breathers who performed during Hola Mohalla celebrations in Anandpur Sahib, were breathtaking. It seemed as if they were literally walking up and putting flammable liquid down in their mouths. Thousands upon thousands of Sikhs flock to the area to celebrate Hola Mohalla.

The devotion & faith dragged the devotees who came to pay obeisance to the Sikh Shrine. Manjot Singh, a 6-year-old training to be a Nihang, has been practicing archery for about two years. “From what I’ve been told, it takes them 15 years to become a full Nihang,” said Daniel Berehulak, who photographed Hola Mohalla celebrations in the town of Anandpur Sahib.
