Vaisakhi (IAST: visākhī), also known as Baisakhi, Vaishakhi, or Vasakhi is a historical and religious festival in Sikhism and Hinduism. It is usually celebrated on April 13 or 14 every year.[4][5]

Vaisakhi marks the Sikh new year[2][1] and commemorates the formation of Khalsapanth of warriors under Guru Gobind Singh in 1699.[6][7] It is additionally a spring harvest festival for the Sikhs.[6] Vaisakhi is also an ancient festival of Hindus, marking the Solar New Year and also celebrating the spring harvest.[7] It marks the sacredness of rivers in Hindu culture, it is regionally known by many names, but celebrated in broadly similar ways.[8][9]

Vaisakhi observes major events in the history of Sikhism and the Indian subcontinent that happened in the Punjab region.[10][11] The significance of Vaisakhi as a major Sikh festival marking the birth of Sikh order started after the persecution and execution of Guru Tegh Bahadur for refusing to convert to Islam under the orders of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. This triggered the coronation of the tenth Guru of Sikhism and the historic formation of Khalsa, both on the Vaisakhi day.[12][13][14] Vaisakhi was also the day when colonial British empire officials committed the Jallianwala Bagh massacre on a gathering, an event influential to the Indian movement against colonial rule.
