HAPPY VAISAKHI

Vaisakhi or Baisakhi is the most important occasion in the Sikh calendar. It is the Sikh New Year festival and is celebrated on April 13 or 14. In 1699 the tenth guru, Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa in front of thousands at Anandpur Sahib. Gudwaras are decorated and visited. Parades, dancing and singing happen throughout the day. Many Sikhs choose to be baptised into the Khalsa brotherhood on this day.
