Bhaisakhi

Baisakhi, also known as Vaisakhi, is a major Sikh festival celebrated annually on April 13 or 14. It marks the Sikh New Year and commemorates the founding of the Khalsa Panth by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699, symbolizing spiritual renewal, courage, and community unity. Traditionally, celebrations include processions, prayers, gurdwara visits, and cultural performances. Baisakhi also coincides with the harvest season in Punjab, making it an important agricultural festival. The day fosters communal harmony and cultural pride, serving as a reminder of Sikh values and history.
