One of the important festivals of Punjab is Baisakhi, a harvest festival that celebrates the occasion of harvesting the first crop of the year. People throughout the state enjoy and celebrate this festival, as it’s their turn to finally enjoy the fruits of their labour and the hard work they have endured through the winter months. Baisakhi is also the Sikh New Year and people decorate their houses, dress up in traditional clothes and participate in fairs that are held throughout the state. Everywhere you go in Punjab during Baisakhi, you can hear the sounds of the dhol and folk music, loud and clear. Baisakhi is celebrated in the middle of April and this is when you can be sure to enjoy delicious Punjabi food. Don’t miss Baisakhi if you happen to visit Punjab during early summer as it doesn’t get better than this!
