Time shown in-05:00 America, New York

For many Hindus and Sikhs, April 13th and 14th mark the celebration of Vaisakhi (vay-SAH-khee) or Baisakhi. It is believed that Vaisakhi originated when Goddess Ganga came to Earth to help rid humanity of its sins, so many Hindus will visit one of the scared rivers to offer their prayers. Vaisakhi is also a time for charitable giving (dana), and to share food and resources with those less fortunate. This festival is held on almost the same day every year and is known as the solar new year for some Hindu communities.
