Baisakhi – a festival of hope, growth and new beginning

Though a celebration of harvest season, Baisakhi has a traditional, cultural and historical significance. It was on the eve of Baisakhi in 1699 Guru Gobind Singh rallied Sikhs to fight against Mughals. The festival is also celebrated by Sikhs to mark the coronation of Guru Gobind Singh as well as the foundation of the Khalsa sect of Sikhism.
