Hey Guyzzz,

Here Rubal, Wishing to those who celebrates Baisakhi nd others a Very Happy Baisakhi.......

Here is Lil Description Who arent aware wat Baisakhi is.....Credit Goes to Wikipedia😊

Vaisakhi ( also known as Baisakhi or Vasakhi) is an ancient harvest festival in the Punjab region, which also marks beginning of a new solar year, and new harvest season. Baisakhi is a Sikh religious festival.^[1] It falls on the first day of the Baisakh month in the solarNanakshahi calendar, which corresponds to April 13 in the Gregorian calendar.

In Sikhism, it is one of the most significant holidays in the Sikh calendar, commemorating the establishment of the Khalsa at Anandpur Sahib in 1699, by the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh^[2].

This day is also observed as the beginning of the Hindu solar new year celebrated by the people of Nepal and India in Assam Valley, Kerala, Orissa, West Bengal and some other regions of India. The particular significance attached to the occasion shows regional variation outside of Punjab too. In Himachal Pradesh, the Hindu Goddess Jwalamukhi is worshipped on Vaisakhi, while in Bihar, the Sun-god Surya is honoured.^[3] The festival is celebrated as Rongali Bihu in Assam, Naba Barsha or Pohela Boishakh in Bengal and Tripura, Puthandu (Tamil New Year) in Tamil Nadu, Vishu (or Vaishakhi) in Kerala, Bikhu orBikhauti in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, Maha Vishuba Sankranti (or Pana Sankranti) in Orissa, and the Sinhalese New Year festival in Sri Lanka. Besides in Punjab, Baisakhi is widely celebrated as a traditional harvest festival in many northern states of India, such as Haryana, Himachal Pradesh andUttarakhand. In many places the day is marked by ritualistic bathing in sacred rivers like the Ganges.

The main celebration^[6] takes place at Talwandi Sabo^[7] (where Guru Gobind Singh stayed for nine months and completed the recompilation of the Guru Granth Sahib), and in the gurdwara at Anandpur Sahib, the birth place of Khalsa and at the Golden Temple in Amritsar^[8]. The celebration of vaisakhi held at Anandpur Sahib on 13th april 1699 was the birthday of KHALSA. So, Baisakhi is not merely a start of new season but is also a celebration of the Khalsa's birthday

In the United States, there is usually a parade commemorating the Baisakhi celebration. In Manhattan, New York City people come out to do "seva" (religious work) such as giving out free food, and completing any other labor that needs to be done. In Los Angeles, California, the local Sikh community consisting of more than 20 Gurdwaras or Sikh Temples holds a full day kirtan or spiritual music program followed by a two mile parade in downtown Los Angeles with an estimated 15,000 participants. The local Sikh community in Vancouver, Abbotsford and Surrey, British Columbia, Canada holds its annual Baisakhi celebrations in the April long weekend, which often includes a nagar kirtan, or parade, which an estimated 200,000 people attend.

Sikh populations within the UK and the US celebrate with city parades consisting of floats, and free food being offered. These celebrations are often organized by the community and local gurdwaras.
