Baisakhi marks the harvest of rabi crops and farmers offer thanksgiving for a good harvest and prosperity. The day is celebrated with folk dances like bhangra and gidda.
Folk dances like bhangra and gidda are performed to celebrate the day. Additionally, it has religious significance for the Sikh community, and according to the Punjabi calendar, Baisakhi is also the start of the Punjabi New Year.
This year Baisakhi or Vaisakhi will be celebrated on April 14, 2023. The Sikh New Year is often observed on either April 13 or 14. The festivities for this festival, which will be held on April 14 this year, have already started.
This festival marks the formation of the Khalsa (the pure one). The Khalsa was founded by Guru Gobin Singh on Vaisakhi in 1699. On this day, Guru Gobind Singh declared that all people are equal and abolished the concept of caste.
According to Drik Panchang, the Sikh Guru tradition eventually came to an end when the Guru Granth Sahib was proclaimed Sikhism's Holy Book and Eternal Constitution.
The Sikh New Year is also observed during Baisakhi. Hindus primarily celebrate Baisakhi in western Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana. It is observed as "Naba Barsha" or Bengali New Year in West Bengal.
