Baisakhi is one of the most auspicious Hindu festivals, and it is celebrated with great excitement and devotion. The holiday, which falls around harvest season in India, is celebrated on April 13th. The religious significance of the Baisakhi holiday dates back to 1699, when Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, founded the Panth Khalsa — the Order of the Pure Ones — and baptised Sikh warriors to preserve religious liberties. This is why the Khalsa Sirjana Divas is celebrated on this day.
For Hindus, it marks the start of their solar year. 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 are some of the names given to it.
Baisakhi commemorates the harvest of rabi crops, and farmers express gratitude for a successful harvest and prosperous year. It is the first day of the New Year for Sikhs. Folk dances such as bhangra and gidda are performed to mark the occasion.
