Vaishakhi (Baisakhi) is a major festival celebrated in India, especially in Punjab and Haryana. It marks the harvest festival and also has deep historical and religious significance in Sikhism.

Significance of Baisakhi

  1. Sikhism – It commemorates the formation of the Khalsa Panth by Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1699. This was a defining moment for Sikhs, emphasizing devotion, equality, and bravery.
  2. Harvest Festival – For farmers in Punjab, it marks the beginning of the new harvest season, particularly for Rabi crops like wheat.
  3. Hindu Tradition – It is observed as the Solar New Year in many parts of India, celebrated with different names like Pohela Boishakh (Bengal), Vishu (Kerala), and Puthandu (Tamil Nadu).
