Baisakhi

Baishakhi festival is celebrate in the month of Vaishakh according to hindu calendar or in april month.
Baisakhi is the time for the harvest of the crops in the northern part of India. The farmers are the most joyous group this day and most of them celebrate by praying to the almighty first thing in the morning, which is followed by a visit to the Baisakhi Melas. These are as much a part of the modern Indian cities as they are of the rural India. These Melas are hot spots of Punjabi culture and are characterized by music and dances like Gidda and Bhangra (Punjabi Folk Dances), wrestling matches (Akharas), sumptuous Punjabi food and unending rides and shopping options.

The Gurdwaras (place of worship for the Sikhs) hold special Gurbani-Kirtan programmes on the occasion and inspire the present generations by acquainting them with their glorious past. Nagar Kirtans (processions) are held throughout the Northern India. Praying remains a part of the Baisakhi celebrations in all the other parts of the country. Though most of the Indian states celebrate the festival, it is known by different names in each part of the country. It is called Rongali Bihu in Assam, Nabha Barsha in West Bengal, Vaishakha in Bihar, Purtahndu in Tamil Nadu and Vishu in Kerala.
