Vaisakhi, also known as Baisakhi, is a significant harvest festival celebrated in the Punjab region. It holds special importance for Sikhs as it marks the inception of the Sikh New Year. The festival typically falls on April 13 or 14 each year and is observed with vibrant festivities, including processions, music, dance, and the sharing of traditional foods. For Sikhs, Vaisakhi holds deep spiritual significance as it commemorates the formation of the Khalsa, the community of initiated Sikhs, by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. It is a time for Sikhs to reflect on their heritage, reaffirm their faith, and celebrate the bounties of the harvest season with gratitude and joy.
