Hindus\ncelebrate this day as the solar New Year and take a dip in the holy water of\nriver Ganges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Vaisakhi of 1699, Guru Gobind Singh decided to transform Sikhs into a family of saint soldiers, known as Khalsa Panth. On this day, Guru challenged any Sikh warrior who was prepared to give his life. Five people volunteered and they later came to be known as Panj Piare or the beloved five. Guru instead of killing them baptized them with Amrit and formed five membered Khalsa. The main aim of this group was to defend religious freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Baisakhi Celebrated in Punjab India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from historical and religious significance, Vaisakhi marks the ripening of the Rabi crop. Farmers take this day as an opportunity to thank god for a splendid harvest. Mainly celebrated in Punjab, Haryana, and a few other north Indian states. This year this festival is going to be celebrated on Tuesday, April 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As celebrations are concerned, they sure are grand. In Punjab, Gurudwaras are decorated and a possession led by five Khalsa, called Nagar Kirtan, is organized. Singling religious hymns, flocking to local fairs and Bhangra are common sites. In other parts of India, people take a dip in holy waters, dress in ethnic wear, indulge in traditional delicacies. They also visit their beloved ones and present them with gifts. Also, the day is regarded as one of the best days to venture out a new business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Baisakhi Gifts Ideas 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SENDBESTGIFT is here with the finest <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Baisakhi gift ideas 2026 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sendbestgift.com\/baisakhi\" target=\"_blank\">Baisakhi gift ideas 2026<\/a> <\/strong>which you can shop for and amaze your beloved ones with.
