Vaisakhi

Today is Vaisakhi! Usually observed on the 13th or 14th of April, it’s a joyous spring harvest festival cherished by Hindus and Sikhs alike. Rooted in the history of Sikhism, it marks the day when Guru Gobind Singh laid the foundation of the Khalsa Panth, a significant moment in Sikh history. The festivities are a vibrant spectacle of dance, music, and the donning of new attire. 

Parades are a big highlight, often featuring lively traditional dances like Bhangra and Gidda. The party transcends cultural boundaries, fostering a sense of unity. Families get together to prepare festive meals and exchange sweets – like Kheer or Phirni – creating a warm, fuzzy, festive atmosphere. In India’s northern states, Vaisakhi holds special importance, with processions and vibrant celebrations. It’s a day that champions togetherness and the cultural heritage of the communities that observe it.
