Vaisakhi, also known as Baisakhi, marks the first day of the month of Vaisakh and is traditionally celebrated annually on 13 April. A spring harvest celebration primarily in Punjab and Northern India.

Punjabi dances are an array of folk and religious dances of the Punjabi people indigenous to the Punjab region, straddling the border of India and Pakistan. The style of Punjabi dances ranges from very high energy to slow and reserved, and there are specific styles for men and women.

Bhangra is the most popular folk dance from Punjab, originating in the Sialkot area of Punjab, Pakistan. It is especially associated with the vernal Vaisakhi festival.

Culturally, Vaisakhi is also the date for the Indian Solar New Year. An occasion to ritually bathe in sacred rivers such as Ganges, Jhelum, and Kaveri, visit temples, meet friends and perform a mandatory daan (charity) especially of hand fans, water pitchers and seasonal fruits. Community fairs are held at Hindu pilgrimage sites. Processions of temple deities are taken out such as Durga in Himachal Pradesh, Surya in Bihar, and Vishnu in southern India.
