Vaisakhi (Sikh/Hindu)

Vaisakhi, also known as Baisakhi, is a spring harvest celebration primarily in Punjab and Northern India. For Sikhs, Vaisakhi is a major festival marking the birth of the Khalsa order by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru of Sikhism. For many Hindu communities, the festival is an occasion to ritually bathe in sacred rivers such as Ganges, Jhelum, and Kaveri, visit temples, meet friends, take part in other festivities, and perform a mandatory daan (charity) especially of hand fans, water pitchers and seasonal fruits.
