Happy baishakhi to all

Baisakhi, the arrival of the harvesting season and the hot-blooded Punjabis celebrate it with a lot of gusto and gaiety.

Baisakhi, especially in Punjab and Haryana, also involves a lot of socializing. Friends and relatives are invited for dinner or lunch where a lavish spread greets the guests
