learn all about Sikh New Year
Bisaki is a day that goes by many different names.
In Punjab, this is the day that people begin to harvest crops sown in winter, and is thus a time of celebration and joy for farmers.
They usually celebrate by taking a dip in the river, or in Hindi, in the morning, going to the temple and praying to thank the gods for a good harvest.
Fairs are organized for the whole day and people, dressed in colorful clothes, take their families to see the celebrations.
Wrestling matches and musical and acrobatic performances are on full display as people dance to the beat of the Punjabi drum, called a dhol, with energetic music and noise.
