- The holy festival of Baisakhi is celebrated every year in the month of Vaishakh when the Sun transits in Aries. This is the reason why this holy festival is also called the festival of Aries Sankranti.
According to astrology, all Hindi months have been named after constellations. The month of Vaishakh is also named after the constellation named Vishakha. It is believed that Vishakha Nakshatra appears in the sky on the day of Baisakhi.
Baisakhi is mainly a festival of farmers, who express their gratitude by singing and worshipping nature and God for their good harvest on this day.
According to the Sikh religion, their new year starts on the day of Baisakhi. This is the reason why Shabad-Kirtan etc. is specially held in the Gurudwara on this day, due to which a large number of people go to the Gurudwara to listen.
According to Sikh belief, on the day of the Baisakhi festival, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, considered to be his tenth Guru, established the Khalsa Panth.
On this auspicious festival associated with Guru Sahib, a large number of people go to the Gurdwara and bow down before the Guru Granth Sahib and distribute and receive Kadah Prasad.
