It was a joyous day in Hamilton on Saturday, May 7.
Hundreds of Sikh community members from all over Waikato came together for the celebration of Baisakhi.
The celebration was part of festivities organized by the New Zealand Indian Association (Country Section).
This popular event was well attended, an association spokesman said.
The audience was treated to performances of local artists who put on an excellent show of talent.
A good time was had by all.
Baisakhi, or Vaisakhi Festival, is celebrated as the Sikh New Year and the founding of the Khalsa Panth. History of Baisakhi traces its origin from the Baisakhi Day celebrations of 1699 organized by the Tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh to form Khalsa - Brotherhood of Saint Soldiers to fight against tyranny and oppression.
