The spring harvest festival, pivotal for farmers and the Sikh community, celebrates new beginnings and the Khalsa order's establishment by Guru Gobind Singh.

Baisakhi 2025 will primarily be celebrated on April 13, though some reports suggest April 14, reflecting ongoing ambiguity around the date.
The festival marks the start of the harvest season and holds deep significance for farmers and communities in Punjab and Northern India.
Baisakhi commemorates the founding of the Khalsa order in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh, a transformative moment in Sikh religious history.
Celebrations include visits to Gurudwaras, prayers, community gatherings, traditional dances like Bhangra and Gidda, and festive meals.
Baisakhi is part of a broader array of regional spring festivals across India, such as Vishu, Rongali Bihu, and Poila Baisakh, showcasing the nation's cultural diversity.
