FAQs
Question
What is Wisconsin like in June?
Answer
Beautiful! Milwaukee summers host typical highs of 75 and plenty of rain clouds. All events will be indoors with outdoor patio access, weather permitting.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We encourage everyone to pull out their best Indian outfits for our events! Bright colors and patterns are highly encouraged. Western attire is also acceptable! For the ceremony, please dress modestly and avoid wearing red as this is a bridal color. Women should bring a shawl or dupatta to wear over hair, shoulders, and arms while inside the Gurudwara. Keep comfort in mind as seating will be on a carpeted floor! Men will be provided with a rumal at the Gurudwara to cover their heads as a sign of respect. Please feel free to let us know if you have questions about your outfits, we would love to consult! More information about how to dress for our events can be found here: https://shorturl.at/7uUko
