Vaisakhi is the Hindu New Year and a harvest festival, celebrated primarily in northern India and Bangladesh. For Sikhs, it is their most important holy day. It is particularly significant in Malaysia and India, especially in the Indian state of Punjab, where the gospel of the Sikhs began. There the holiday is celebrated in the temples, with a 48-hour reading of the Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh holy book), prayers, hymns, and sermons. Afterwards, there is feasting and dancing of the bhangra, a popular and athletic folk dance for men, depicting the entire farming year. Discuss
