BAISAKHI

-

Baisakhi is a spring harvest festival usually celebrated every year April 13 and 14. This is one of the special occasions that are celebrated all over India by Hindus and Sikhs. It usually marks the Sikh New Year and an ancient festival of Hindus, which is nothing but the solar New Year. It is the day commemorating the formation of Khalsa Path of warriors under Guru Gobind Singh.  On the festival day, Gurdwaras are decorated; the sikhs will visit and take bath in the holy lake or rivers before visiting local Gurdwaras. And for any Hindus, it is the day, where they will take their bath on the holy rivers like Ganges and Kaveri. After taking the bath, they will visit the nearby temple and meet their friends and family members.

The most fun and interesting art of happy Baisakhi is the dance battles. Both the male and female can participate in the dance battles. Mostly the battles are covered under the traditional Punjabi Bhangra and Gidda dances. If the dance stage is decorated with brightly colored lights, it will add additional fun and joy to the participants. The dancers can dance steadily according to the fast-paced rhythm of dilapidated drums. Whenever you are dancing to these beats, you can immerse yourself in the joyous environment and enjoy the spirit of the festival completely. If you have more numbers of people in celebration, you can conduct the dance competition also.

Baisakhi is the community festival where the society is also taking part in the crew and spreading harmony and love among the people. The Baisakhi fairs are the highlight of the celebration every year. The traditional gatherings are having fun games and crafts, which acts as a kick start for your talents. So you should not feel shy to participate in these gatherings and enjoy the occasion as much as possible.

India is the land of festivals, and it is famous for spices and sweet prasad. In the Baisakhi, the people are preparing the Langar and Karah prasad. And the people will arrange food stalls, where the prepared foods are handed out to people from all walks of life. These Langar are done in the name of piety and considered as the good deed of the Baisakhi.  If you think doing these things will be cost-effective, you can get help from your friends, family members, and neighbors. This is one of the good things that you have done on the Baisakhi.
