Baisakhi 2025: Devotees take holy dip in 'amrit sarovar' at Golden Temple, river Ganga in Haridwar | Videos

Amritsar/Haridwar: Devotees thronged sacred sites across India on Sunday to mark the festival of Baisakhi, taking holy dips and participating in prayers and festivities. In Punjab, thousands gathered at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, where they took a ritual dip in the amrit sarovar (holy tank) and offered prayers to mark the Sikh New Year and the founding of the Khalsa Panth. Baisakhi holds special significance for the Sikh community as it commemorates the day in 1699 when Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, established the Khalsa Panth—an order of saint-soldiers devoted to upholding righteousness and equality.
