The tradition names no separate muhurat for this festival — it is observed through the day. Abhijit is the day’s generally auspicious window and Rahu Kaal the one to avoid.
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 2028 in Washington is on Thursday, April 13, 2028.
No. Baisakhi is on Apr 13, 2028 in Washington but Apr 14, 2028 in India. The tithi begins at one moment worldwide, and that moment lands on a different local day in each place.
Baisakhi is also known as Vaisakhi, Pohela Boishakh, Vaisakhi Punjab. These are regional names and spellings for the same festival.
