Baisakhi is an age-old festival that marks the start of the harvest season and celebrates the beginning of the solar new year. In Sikh temples called gurdwaras, people come together for communal singing, shared meals, and reflection on their faith's principles, which include serving others and striving for a just society while living simply. The Sikh religion, originating from Guru Nanak in 1469 in present-day Pakistan, rejects the caste system and promotes the idea of equality and charity. The spirit of Baisakhi reflects the teachings and values of the Sikh gurus.
