aisakhi is celebrated on the 13th of April every year, marking the
new year of Punjab. n Punjab, a primarily agricultural area, this
day is especially important as it commemorates the first day of
harvest. The fields are full and beautiful with nature's bounty, all
ready to be cut and collected on this day. Traditionally, the men
and women perform hangra and Giddha to the pounding rhythm
of the dhol .

ohri marks the end of winter, celebrated on the 13th of
January. This festival is celebrated as a harvest fair. This festival
commemorates more than the harvest, though; it honors the spirit
of Punjab. The day that follows ohri is an auspicious one for the
Sikh community. t is the first day of the Punjabi month called
'mangh'. This is a holy month, and it is honored with 'daan-punya'
(acts of physical and material charity).
