Baisakhi, also spelled Vaisakhi, is a spring harvest festival celebrated in India, traditionally on the first day of Vaisakha, April 13 or 14. The festival celebrates the spring harvest of crops sown in winter (rabi crops), making it an important agricultural festival. As it coincides with the Hindu New Year for many communities that follow the solar calendar, variations of this festival are observed in other regions across India.
