The five Ks respectively are Kirpan (sword), Kara (steel ring), Kesh(hair), Katchera (underwear) and Kangha (comb). They were established by the tenth guru of the Sikhs – Guru Gobind Singh. Hindu’s though celebrate this day as their new year based on the Vikram Samvat calendar. Since its timing coincides with the end of the harvest season in India, it is a festival that brings tremendous joy to the majority working class of our population, which are the farmers.

The story of the inception of Baisakhi is an interesting one as it is believed Guru Gobind Singh once asked any Sikh to rise and give up his life. Of all the people present in the crowd, only five had the courage to stand up. They were rewarded for their bravery by the Guru with Amrit instead of killing them and became famous as the Khalsa. These saint soldiers were given a dress code and had to follow certain principles in life like no tobacco, no alcohol and no adultery. They are the purest form, and anyone aspiring to be a Khalsa has to follow these ethics.

Nagar Kirtan are a more common sight on Baisakhi and Gurudwaras across the country are lit up in various lights, making it a visual treat. Nagar Kirtans involve a Khalsa led procession with people singing religious hymns. Punjab remains the focal point of such celebrations, and in almost every city of the state, huge fairs are conducted that attract a lot of crowds. In Hindi heartland of the country, the Hindus take a dip in the Ganges on this special day. They consider it as an ideal day to begin important work.
