Vaisakhi - Punjabi Style of Celebration

Punjabi Style of Celebration

To mark the celebrations, Sikh devotees generally attend the Gurdwara before dawn with flowers and offerings in hands. Processions through towns are also common.

Punjabis assign a quite different meaning to Vaisakhi. In rural areas of Punjab they celebrate with full happiness and joy. They can be caught performing Bhangra.This strenuous dance tells the story of the agricultural process, from tilling the soil through harvesting. Thus it prepares the people of Punjab for the joy of the harvest season which begins on the following day. It is a day of feasting and merriment before the hard, tiring but fruitful time ahead.
