Significance of Baisakhi<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Significance<\/p>\n

Baisakhi is celebrated with pleasure in many North Indian states and holds special significance for Punjabis and Sikhs. It marks the beginning of their solar year and harvest of Rabi crops. Since Punjab is an agricultural state, this day holds great significance as farmers thank their gods for a bountiful harvest and hope for another good year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the same day in 1699, the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa Panth and evoked unity and nationalism among his people at a meeting in Anandpur Sahib. He also marked the end of the long tradition of Gurus in Sikhism and established the Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal Guide for the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Baisakhi Celebration<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Baisakhi celebration in Punjab starts with people bathing in the holy river and going to Gurudwaras wearing new clothes on this day. Many Sikh people prefer visiting Golden Temple in Amritsar and the gurudwara at Anandpur Sahib, where Khalsa was born, where Guru Gobind Singh anthologized the sacred Guru Granth Sahib. After prayers, people delve into high spirits and sing and dance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This festival is celebrated in gurudwaras, schools, colleges, homes, and fields. People love to wear vibrant traditional clothes, prepare locally grown and loved cuisine – Makki di roti and Sarson da saag, gajar ka halwa, cholle, lassi, and many more. People love to dance on the beats of dhol to celebrate prosperity, schools and colleges organize various competitions and religious processions to make the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
