The most important Sikh festival — Khalsa Sajna Divas (Day of Khalsa Founding) — marking the creation of the Khalsa Panth by Guru Gobind Singh Ji on Vaisakh 1, 1756 Bikrami (April 13, 1699) in Anandpur Sahib. Also the Punjabi harvest festival (the first day of Nanakshahi Samvat 558). Gurdwaras hold Nagar Kirtan processions, Amrit Sanchar (Khalsa initiation), and grand langar.
Dates 2026–2027
Mantra
ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ, ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
The Khalsa belongs to Waheguru; victory belongs to Waheguru
How to recite
This is the Khalsa greeting — exchange it with fellow Sikhs on Baisakhi. Join the Nagar Kirtan (procession) and Amrit Sanchar (Khalsa initiation ceremony) at your local Gurdwara.
Benefits
Affirms that the community (Khalsa) lives in service of the Divine, and that all victory comes from Waheguru's grace.
✦ Special Note
Sikhism does not prescribe formal fasting on Baisakhi. The day is marked by joyful seva, kirtan, ardas, and participating in Amrit Sanchar — or simply joining the langar and Nagar Kirtan.

Meal Idea
Grand langar of dal makhani, aloo gobhi, and karah prasad — celebrating the founding of the Khalsa with the entire community
