Bijeeta10 Apr, 2025Religion

Baisakhi, celebrated on April 13 or 14, marks the start of the Hindu solar New Year and the spring harvest, especially in Punjab. For Sikhs, it's significant for commemorating the Khalsa's creation by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. Observances include early morning prayers, processions, traditional dances like Bhangra and Gidda, and communal feasts known as Langar.
