“Wherever there is a celebration of harvest, there is gratitude in the heart – for the land gives, and the soul receives.”
Baisakhi, Punjab’s vibrant harvest festival, was celebrated with great enthusiasm and joy by our Dipsites at DPS Surajkund on Monday, April 13, 2026. The celebration took place in the Rangmanch area of our school premises. It aimed to raise students’ awareness of the cultural and historical significance of this loved festival- a day that marks the season’s first harvest and holds deep importance in Sikh history.
The celebration began with teachers presenting a brief yet insightful introduction about Baisakhi, shedding light on its significance as a harvest festival and its deep-rooted importance in Sikh history. This set the tone for a day filled with culture, learning, and festive cheer.
The highlight of the event was an energetic Bhangra performance by students dressed in vibrant traditional Punjabi attire. Their lively moves filled the atmosphere with excitement, while the colourful costumes and foot-tapping music added immense charm and warmth to the celebration.
A special corner, Punjab Ki Shaan, showcased a display of food crops—wheat, rice, and maize—helping students understand and appreciate the significance of agriculture and the abundance the harvest season brings.
Adding a refreshing twist to the festivities was Pind Di Shuddh Lassi, where each student also prepared lassi in their classroom and savoured it at this dedicated corner—truly capturing the spirit and flavour of Baisakhi in every sip!
The Khushiyon Ki Mehndi corner was a favourite among the girls, who joyfully adorned their palms with beautiful mehndi designs, celebrating tradition with creativity and enthusiasm.
At the Punjab Da Swad food stall, the aroma of freshly made makki ki roti prepared on a traditional chulha by didi filled the air. Students relished the authentic Punjabi flavours, making it a truly delicious and heartwarming experience.
