Baisakhi Puja Method: The festival of Baisakhi is celebrated with great enthusiasm in North India, especially in Punjab and Haryana to mark the arrival of the new crop. There is some confusion among people regarding the exact date of Baisakhi this year, but according to astrological calculations, this festival is celebrated when the Sun God enters Aries. This time the change of Sun’s zodiac is happening on the night of 13 April 2026, hence according to Udayatithi, Baisakhi will be celebrated on 14 April 2026.

This day is the time of harvesting the golden crop for the farmers and it also has historical significance for the Sikh community, because on this day Guru Gobind Singh Ji established the Khalsa Panth.

Auspicious time and traditional method of Baisakhi worship

It is considered very auspicious to wake up early in the morning and take bath in a holy river on the day of Baisakhi. If it is not possible to go to the river, then take bath at home by mixing some Ganges water in the bathing water and then offer Arghya to the Sun God. For worship, light a lamp in the home temple and offer the grains of the new crop to God. On this day, special ardas and kirtan take place in Gurudwaras, where people pay obeisance in the spirit of service. Happiness is shared among themselves by offering Kada Prasad. This festival teaches us that success achieved after hard work should be enjoyed only with loved ones.

Importance of charity and happiness of new beginning

From the religious point of view, the day of Baisakhi is considered very auspicious for charity. On this day, one should donate grains, fruits or clothes to the needy as per one’s capacity. It is believed that donations made on this day provide eternal fruits and bring happiness and peace in the house. Many people start new work on this day by taking blessings of their mother, which is considered very auspicious. If you have any new business related plan in mind, then it can be fruitful to think about it on this day of positive energy. The real identity of this festival is to have a feeling of service towards the society.

Enjoy the festivities and home-cooked sattvik food

The splendor of Baisakhi is incomplete without traditional dances like Bhangra and Giddha, which perfectly show the joy of the arrival of the new crop. If we talk about food and drink, then on this special day, pure and satvik home-made food has its own pleasure. Instead of buying packaged goods from the market, enjoy hot kheer, saffron yellow rice or kada prasad made by your mother. The purity and love filled in these dishes prepared in the home kitchen keeps us connected to our roots and traditions. Eating together with family and sharing happiness helps a lot in the proper functioning of life. The truth is that this festival is a beautiful symbol of mutual love, unity and brotherhood.
