Baisakhi is a festival which is celebrated in northern India specially by sikh and Punjabi community. It falls on april 13th or 14th every year (mostly on april 14th). This year baisakhi is on 14th april 2018.

Baisakhi festival holds special importance for sikh community, As on the Baisakhi day, in 1699, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh laid down the foundation of the Panth Khalsa, that is the Order of the Pure Ones.

Baisakhi day also has special importance for many communities and sects of India. Traditionally this day always held special importance for farmers as Baisakhi marks the time for harvest of Rabi (winter) crops. This day also marks the beginning of the Hindu solar new year and is thus celebrated in different parts of India. E.g. In Kerala as ‘Vishu’ Festival, In Assam as ‘Bohag Bihu’, In Bengal as ‘Naba Barsha’, In Tamil Nadu as ‘Puthandu’ and in Bihar as ‘Vaishakha’.

Arya Samaj which is believed by many people from Punjab and haryana was also founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati on Baisakhi day in 1875. So the day of Baisakhi festival is a special day to people from different communities and states for different reasons.
