HARVEST SEASON |
Baishakhi or Vaishakhi is always celebrated on the 13th of April; this day marks the beginning of the Hindu solar new year. It is among the few Indian festivals that has a fixed date. In Kerala, Baisakhi is called as "Vishu" and in Tamil Nadu, it is celebrated as "Puthandu" and in Assam, the festival is called Bohag Bihu.
Baisakhi has special significance for two of India's major religious groups.
For Hindus, it's the start of the new year, and is celebrated with requisite bathing, partying and worshiping. It's believed that the goddess Ganga descended to earth thousands of years ago, and in er honor many Hindus gather along the sacred Ganges River for ritual baths. The action is centered in the holy cities along the Ganges in north India
