Vaisakhi (vaisakhi, also known as Baisakhi) marks the the Punjabi New Year and the beginning of the harvest season in Punjab, India. Vaisakhi falls in the Nanakshahi calendar (neither in the Amantha- nor in the Purnimantha-calendar) on the first day of Vaisakh month and marks the sun entering Mesha Rasi (this fact is called Mesha Sankranti). Vaisakhi is therefore determined by the solar calendar. Baisakhi usually falls on April 13, and on April 14 once every thirty-six years. It coincides with Rongali Bihu in Assam, Naba Barsha in Bengal, Puthandu in Tamil Nadu, 'Pooram Vishu' in Kerala, and the Sinhala/Tamil new year festival in Sri Lanka.  1, record 1, English, - Vaisakhi

Fêté dans toute l'Inde, Vaisakhi revêt une importance particulière pour les sikhs. En effet c'est à cette date en 1699 que le dixième gourou, Gobind Singh, créa l'ordre du Khalsa Panth, la fraternité des purs. Les hommes initiés au Khalsa méritent le nom de Singh (lion) et les femmes initiées au Khalsa celui de Kaur (princesse).  1, record 1, French, - Vaisakhi
