Vaisakhi, celebrated on April 14, is a special festival for Sikhs and some Hindus. It marks the start of the harvest season in India, when farmers gather crops they have grown. For Sikhs, Vaisakhi is also important because it honors the day in 1699 when Guru Gobind Singh, a spiritual leader, established the Khalsa, a group of dedicated Sikhs. People celebrate Vaisakhi with colorful parades, singing, dancing, and wearing bright clothes. They visit gurdwaras (Sikh temples) to pray and enjoy community meals together. It's a time for families and friends to come together and have fun.
