Celebrating One of Indias Most Popular Events, the Baisakhi Day
Also called the Vaisakhi, Vaishakhi, or Vasakhi, this festival is celebrated on April 14, 2013. It is one of Indias most popular and most anticipated celebrations. In fact, all across the northern Indian continent, people observe this tradition and are always very excited when the month of April is fast approaching.

Every year, the Indians that follow the Sikh religion not only in India but also in other parts of the world engage in big and elaborate customs and traditions to observe this day.
