Punjabi Community from North India celebrates Baisakhi Day as the dawn of Punjabi New Year and the beginning of the harvest season in Punjab, India. This day mostly falls on 13th April every year. This day actually falls on the first day of Vaishakh month when the Sun enters the Mesha Rashi.

This day is famous within Sikh community and is celebrated for the birh of Khalsa on this day. This day marks the anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh's gift of Panth Khalsa on this day more than 300 years ago. Guru Gobind Singh who was the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, sent the special edicts to the congregants to be gathered on Baisakhi Day in the year 1699. They were told to come with unshorn hair under their turbans and chunis.

Then those five Amritdhari (baptised) Sikhs were told by Guru Gobind Singh to baptise him as well. It was told by Guru that where ever there are or will be Panj Pyare- 'the beloved five' together, the Guru would be present. All those people who will get baptised or receive Amrit through 5 Amritdhari or baptised Sikhs will be infused with the spirit of courage and the strength to sacrifice for the cause. With these principles of purity and strength, he established the order of Pure ones which is called Panth Khalsa. From that day onwards, every year the Baisakhi Day is celebrated by Sikhs as the birth of Panth Khalsa.
