Event Navigation
Baisakhi, celebrated primarily in Punjab and by Sikhs worldwide, marks the solar new year and the harvest season, typically falling on April 13th or 14th. It commemorates the establishment of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699, a cornerstone of Sikh identity. This festival is both a religious and agrarian celebration, where Sikhs attend special prayers and kirtans in gurdwaras, partake in community meals, and participate in vibrant processions called Nagar Kirtans. These processions feature singing, chanting, and martial arts displays. As a harvest festival, Baisakhi is a time for farmers to celebrate a successful crop season and pray for future prosperity. Traditional dances like Bhangra and Gidda, along with fairs showcasing music, food, and crafts, add to the festive atmosphere. Globally, Sikh communities mark Baisakhi with cultural programs and gatherings, reflecting its enduring significance and the spirit of gratitude and community.
