Baisakhi wishes with name, in one paragraph
A Baisakhi wish with your name on it is an ordinary greeting card with one thing changed: it says who sent it. Type your name on this page and you get a card that opens with “Asha is wishing you Happy Baisakhi” instead of a forward from nobody in particular. It is free, takes about ten seconds, and there is nothing to sign up for.
What Baisakhi celebrated
Baisakhi is the Punjabi harvest festival and the Sikh new year. It is also the anniversary of 1699, when Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa at Anandpur Sahib — so the day carries a harvest and a founding at once.
When Baisakhi falls
13 April most years, occasionally the 14th. It follows the solar calendar.
Most Indian festivals follow a lunar calendar, so the date moves against the Gregorian one each year. For the official dates, the Government of India holiday calendar is the one to check.
How Baisakhi is celebrated
- Bhangra and giddha, danced to the dhol in the fields and everywhere else
- Nagar kirtan processions and early prayers at the gurdwara
- The first cut of the rabi wheat harvest
- Langar served to all comers, as on any Sikh occasion
Punjab keeps it hardest, on both sides of the border. The same solar date is Bohag Bihu in Assam, Puthandu in Tamil Nadu and Vishu in Kerala.
What people say
Happy Baisakhi, or Vaisakhi di lakh lakh vadhaiyan.

Straight answers
- What does Baisakhi celebrate?
- Two things at once: the rabi wheat harvest, and the founding of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. For farmers it is payday; for Sikhs it is a founding anniversary.
- Why does Baisakhi fall on the same date each year?
- It tracks the sun rather than the moon, so it sits on 13 April almost every year, occasionally shifting to the 14th.
- What is the Khalsa?
- The community initiated by Guru Gobind Singh at Anandpur Sahib on Baisakhi 1699, beginning with the Panj Pyare, the five who volunteered first.
- How do I send a Baisakhi wish with my name on it?
- Type your name in the box on this page and tap GO. You get a card that opens with your name on it, and a button that hands the whole thing to WhatsApp. It is free, and there is nothing to sign up for.
- Is this Baisakhi greeting really free?
- Yes. No account, no watermark, no upgrade prompt and nothing to install. Your name travels inside the link rather than being stored anywhere.
