The harvest festival is of great importance among farmers all across India. For Hindus, it ushers in their solar new year. It is known by different names in different states of India - Baisakhi in Punjab, Poila Baishakh in West Bengal, Rongali Bihu in Assam, Gudi Pawda in Maharashtra and Ugadi in parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Baisakhi is one of the most prosperous festivals in the Hindu calendar celebrated with full joy and enthusiasm. The festival falls around the harvesting season in India is being observed on April 13.
The tradition of the Baisakhi festival in its religious importance began in the year 1699 when the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, laid the foundation of the Panth Khalsa — the order of the Pure Ones and baptized Sikh warriors to defend religious freedoms. This is the reason why this day is also known as the Khalsa Sirjana Divas.
People organise community kirtans in Gurudwaras and at their local community centres to gather around. Doing charity like availing food for needy ones and social service is also the part of festival celebrations.
