Celebration and festivities seem to have no end at Presidium; they bring joy and happiness to our otherwise monotonous life, especially during the pandemic. They are also an important way to make the children stay connected with our rich cultural heritage and tradition. Baisakhi is one of the significant Hindu-Sikh community festivals that is celebrated in India and other parts of the world. This marks the coronation of the tenth Sikh Guru and the formation of Khalsa Panth. The festival also marks the ripening of the Rabi crops and their first harvest and the Sikh’s and Hindu’s new year; people wish each other a prosperous and happy life with an abundant harvest.
