The auspicious festival of Baisakhi is celebrated on first day of Vaisakhi month (April-May) according to the Nanakshahi calendar. Hence, the festival of Baisakhi is also popularly known as Vaisakhi. According to Gregorian Calendar, Baisakhi falls on April 13 every year and on April 14 once in 36 years. This variation in date is due to the fact that date of Baisakhi is reckoned according to the Indian solar calendar and not the lunar calendar. People of North India, particularly Punjab thank God for good harvest. According to Hindus, Vaisakhi celebrations bring along Baisakh, the essential first month initiating the New Year of the Hindu calendar. To Hindus, Baisakh also consist of the meaningful spiritual essence. The Vaisakhi harvest celebration is an occasion of dancing, singing, music, wearing of festive garments and religious praise. The festival marks the start of the New Year in the Nanakshahi solar calendar and recognizes the Sikh religious faith.
