Baisakhi Harvest Fair Wallpapers

While Baisakhi is already in the database, the Baisakhi celebrations at the Golden Temple in Amritsar deserve special mention as the most important Sikh gathering of the year. On April 14, 1699, Guru Gobind Singh established the Khalsa Panth at Anandpur Sahib, making Baisakhi the birth anniversary of the Sikh military order. The Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) in Amritsar witnesses its largest gathering of the year, with devotees from across the world arriving for special prayers, kirtan, and langar. In Punjab and Haryana, Baisakhi marks the wheat harvest season, and farmers celebrate with Bhangra and Gidda dances, community fairs, and feasting. The celebration extends to Sikh communities across Delhi, Uttarakhand, and globally. Nagar kirtan processions pass through city streets with the Guru Granth Sahib carried on a decorated float. Baisakhi holds significance for all Indian communities: it marks the solar new year in Punjab, coincides with other regional new year festivals, and commemorates the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919.
