Vaisakhi, also known as Baisakhi, is a major festival of Punjab and Haryana that marks the beginning of the harvest season. This year, Baisakhi will be celebrated on Thursday, April 14. It is believed that the significance of Vaisakhi dates back to March 30, 1699, when Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last Sikh Guru, established the Khalsa order. Many Hindus also believe it to be the beginning of the Hindu New Year – although this is not universally accepted.

Today, Vaisakhi has grown from a simple celebration of harvest season to a culturally significant festival, celebrated by hundreds of thousands of people in and outside India.

As we prepare for the arrival of Vaisakhi 2022, here are some Baisakhi wishes, greetings, images and messages to share with your loved ones:

May Waheguru bless your year with good health and success. Happy Baisakhi!

On this Baisakhi, I will keep you and your loved ones in my thoughts as I pray for endless happiness and joy for all.
