Baisakhi is a harvest festival that is celebrated with much fanfare in various parts of north India, especially in Punjab and Haryana.
This year, Baisakhi is being celebrated on 13 April. The celebrations are likely to be muted this year due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Farmers on Baisakhi pay tributes to the gods for a good harvest, which also symbolises prosperity.
Like every other festival, Baisakhi is also associated with its delicacies like pinni, lassi and pakode (fritters). Pinni is the most popular delicacy on Baisakhi which is prepared from wheat, crushed nuts, jaggery or sugar, ghee and cardamom powder.
On the occasion of Baisakhi, people wish each other on social media or through messages. Politicians and celebrities wished their fans and asked them to enjoy the time with their families.
President Ram Nath Kovind also wished the nation, especially people of Punjab, on the occasion of Baisakhi.
बैसाखी की सभी देशवासियों, विशेषकर पंजाब के हमारे भाइयों और बहनों को हार्दिक बधाई। मेरी शुभकामना है कि यह पर्व सभी के जीवन में सुख, स्वास्थ्य और समृद्धि का संचार करे।

सभी देशवासियों को बैसाखी के अवसर पर शुभकामनाएँ। कोरोना लॉकडाउन के कारण हो सकता है इस साल फ़सल की कटाई कुछ दिन देरी से शुरू हो, लेकिन होगी ज़रूर और सभी के जीवन में सुख समृद्धि लाएगी
