Baisakhi, a spring harvest festival, holds special significance as the New Year celebration for Sikhism followers. This festivity traces back to April 13, 1699, when the 10th Guru of the Sikh sect, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, established the Khalsa Panth. According to Hindu religious beliefs, this day marks the transition of the Sun from Pisces to Aries. In India, Baisakhi is observed with immense enthusiasm.
During the month of Vaishakh, Rabi crops ripen, and harvesting begins. People express gratitude to the divine for the bounty of the harvest and offer worship for the grains. As evening descends, individuals embrace each other and extend warm wishes for a joyous Baisakhi. This festival, celebrated annually with grandeur, resonates joyously among Hindu, Sikh, and Buddhist communities across the nation. It heralds the onset of the Punjabi and Sikh New Year, symbolizing the commencement of the harvest season, particularly revered in North India, notably Punjab.
