Baisakhi, also spelled Vaisakhi, is celebrated on April 13th or 14th each year and holds immense significance as both a harvest festival and a religious occasion. It marks the Punjabi New Year and the beginning of the harvest season in the Punjab region, when the winter crops of wheat and mustard are ready to be gathered. For Sikhs, Baisakhi has profound religious importance as the day Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa Panth (the Sikh community of initiated members) in 1699 at Anandpur Sahib. On this historic day, the tenth Sikh Guru called upon his followers to demonstrate their faith, leading to the creation of the Panj Pyare (Five Beloved Ones) and establishing the distinct Sikh identity with the five articles of faith. Celebrations include visiting gurdwaras for special prayers and kirtan, performing energetic Bhangra and Gidda folk dances, preparing festive meals, and participating in community fairs called melas. In Amritsar, the Golden Temple is illuminated and hosts continuous prayer services, attracting hundreds of thousands of devotees from around the world.
