Baisakhi Festival (14 Apr, 2017) |
|
Baisakhi is one of the major
festivals of Sikhs and is celebrated
with lot of enthusiasm and gaiety in
the state of Punjab and all
throughout the world where there is
a significant Sikh population. For
the large farming community of
Punjab, Baisakhi Festival marks the
time for harvest of rabi crops and
they celebrate the day by performing
joyful bhangra and gidda dance. For
the Sikh community, Baisakhi
Festival has tremendous religious
significance as it was on a Baisakhi
Day in 1699, that Guru Gobind Singh,
the tenth Sikh Guru laid the
foundation of Panth Khalsa-the Order
of the Pure Ones.
People of Punjab celebrate the
festival of Baisakhi with exuberance
and devotion. As the festival has
tremendous importance in Sikh
religion, major activities of the
day are organized in Gurdwaras.
People wake up early to prepare for
the day. Many also take bath in the
holy river to mark the auspicious
occasion. After getting ready people
pay a visit to their neighbourdood
gurdwara and take part in the
special prayer meeting organized for
the day. At the end of the Baisakhi
ardas, congregates receive specially
prepared Kara prasad or sweetened
semolina. This is followed by a guru
ka langar or community lunch.
Later, during the day people of Sikh
faith take out a Baisakhi procession
under the leadership of Panj piaras.
The procession moves through the
major localities of the city amidst
the rendition of devotional songs by
the participating men, women and
children. Mock duels, bhangra and
gidda performances make the
procession joyous and colourful. |
