Baisakhi, also known as Vaisakhi, marks the Sikh New Year and commemorates the formation of Khalsa panth of warriors under Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. It is also a spring harvest festival for Sikhs and Hindus. As a festival of joy and prosperity, Baisakhi is celebrated with vibrant parades, traditional performances, and the sharing of festive foods. It's a time when communities come together, new clothes are worn, and prayers are offered for a good year ahead.
