About Vaisakhi
Every April, millions of Sikhs world-wide celebrate Vaisakhi.
Vaisakhi is aa time for the celebration of harvesting the crops with food and festivities but also marks the day that established the Khalsa order by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji (10th Sikh Guru) in 1699.
This day is considered one of the most important days in the Sikh calendar, seeing many Nagar Kirtans (community religious parades) celebrations in Sikh communities around the world.
