Baisakhi

Baisakhi, an ancient harvest festival, is celebrated by Sikhs and Hindus in Punjab, India, marking the start of the solar new year. It holds deep significance for Sikhs, commemorating the formation of the Khalsa Panth by Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1699 to uphold Sikh values amidst adversity. The Khalsa Panth symbolizes spiritual freedom and commitment to Sikh principles, reaffirming Sikh identity worldwide. Hindus also partake in Baisakhi celebrations, although it is not universally recognized as the New Year for Tamil/Malayali Hindus. Baisakhi unites communities to celebrate the harvest and renew their commitment to Sikh traditions, honouring Guru Gobind Singh Ji's teachings.
