Baisakhi is the spring harvest festival of Punjab and, since 1699, the anniversary of the founding of the Khalsa. It is a solar festival — the Sun’s entry into Mesha (Aries) — which is why it holds to 13 or 14 April rather than drifting with the Moon.
Gurdwaras hold nagar kirtan processions and the day is danced with bhangra and gidda. The same solar moment opens the new year as Vishu in Kerala, Puthandu in Tamil Nadu and Pohela Boishakh in Bengal.
Baisakhi 2025 in Melbourne is on Monday, April 14, 2025.
Yes. Baisakhi falls on Apr 14, 2025 in both Melbourne and India this year, though the puja timings differ because sunrise and moonrise are local.
Baisakhi is also known as Vaisakhi, Pohela Boishakh, Vaisakhi Punjab. These are regional names and spellings for the same festival.
