New Delhi, Apr 12: Baisakhi 2021 also known as Vaisakhi is the harvest festival of Punjab. This year it falls on April 14.
Baisakhi also has a religious significance because on March 30 1699 on Baisakhi, Guru Gobind Singh established the Khalsa, which is the pure Sikh community. It marks the beginning of the Solar new year, based on the Hindu Vikram Samvat calendar.
On Baisakhi, Guru Govind Singh asked the people to sacrifice their life for the Guru and the Lord. Five people volunteered and they later came to be known as the Panj Piaras.
On the day of Vaisakhi, the Sikhs make it a point to visit the Gurudwara. Langars are organised at various places and traditional, the Kada Prasad is served to everyone.
People dress up in colourful clothes and in the evening, people do Bhangra. There are processions of Nagar Kirtan that are also carried out. Baisakhi is also celebrated on a large scale in Haryana too.
