Vaisakhi is traditionally observed on 13 or 14 April, every year.[5] The festival is important to both Sikhs and Hindus.[8] The festival coincides with other new year festivals celebrated on the first day of Vaisakh in other regions of the Indian Subcontinent such as Pohela Boishakh, Bohag Bihu, Vishu, Puthandu among others.[16][17]
