Vaisakhi

Vaisakhi, celebrated on April 13 or 14 each year, is an important Sikh festival marking the founding of the Khalsa in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh. It also coincides with the Punjabi new year and the start of the harvest season. The day is observed with religious ceremonies, processions, and community gatherings, emphasizing values of courage, equality, and spiritual devotion. Vaisakhi is a time for Sikhs to reflect on their faith, celebrate cultural heritage, and foster community bonds. It is also recognized by others in the region as a festival of renewal and prosperity.
