Baisakhi

Baisakhi marks reunions of the family members who come together to celebrate. Homes are thoroughly spruced up and useless household effects thrown out. The granary is cleaned to welcome the new harvest arrivals. It is an occasion to wear new clothes, wish relatives, gather blessings and of course sing and dance. The highlight is the elaborate feasting in every home, especially where new family ties are being forged by marriage or new born babies. Baisakhi is also an occasion when the poor and needy are taken care of and given alms and gifts.
