It is a time of harvest and is celebrated in many parts of India as a harvest festival. In Punjab, where the majority of Sikhs live, Vaisakhi is celebrated with traditional dances such as bhangra and gidda, as well as feasting and merrymaking. On this day, Sikhs visit gurdwaras (Sikh temples) and participate in processions, prayers, and kirtans (hymn singing).

This festival marks the beginning of the New Year according to the traditional Sinhala and Tamil calendars. The celebrations begin several days before the actual New Year’s Day, with people cleaning their houses and preparing special traditional foods, such as kiribath (milk rice) and kokis (crispy fried sweets). On the day before the New Year, known as “Punya Kalaya,” people visit temples to perform religious rituals and make offerings.
