The exuberant festival of Baisakhi is celebrated with great pomp and show specially in Punjab. Guru Amar Das had first institutionalized Baisakhi in 1567 as one of the special days when all Sikhs would gather to receive the guru's blessings at Goindwal. On this day in 1699, their tenth Guru, Gobind Singh, organized the order of the Khalsa. He discontinued the tradition of Gurus in Sikhism by declaring the Granth Sahib to be the eternal Guru of all Sikhs. It also marks the arrival of harvesting season and the beginning of the new year of Hindus.Baisakhi traditions and customs are followed with sincerity and devotion.
People visit the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) for to pay respects at the shrine and for the holy dip. Farmers come here, take blessings and then they start harvesting.
Baisakhi possessions are carried out in local neighbourhoods. People enjoy the joyous festive mood with teh energetic performances of bhangra and gidda to the beat of dhol.
