Baisakhi 2027 is on **Wednesday 14 April**. It is the Punjab harvest festival and the day Sikhs mark the founding of the Khalsa, so write in Punjabi first and keep the selling warm, not loud.

## The date

[Drik Panchang](https://www.drikpanchang.com/festivals/vaisakhi/vaisakhi-date-time.html?year=2027) lists Vaisakhi (Baisakhi) on Wednesday 14 April 2027, with the Sun entering Aries at 3:33 PM in New Delhi. [Shubh Panchang](https://shubhpanchang.com/calendar/2027-04-14) also lists 14 April (both checked 2026-10-20). The day is 13 or 14 April depending on when the Sun enters Aries ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaisakhi)). Shubh Panchang also marks 14 April as Dr Ambedkar Jayanti, so keep sale language out of greetings for that occasion.

## What the day means

- **Harvest:** it marks the ripening of the rabi crop, wheat and barley, especially in Punjab
- **Khalsa:** on this day in 1699 Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa
- **How people celebrate:** fairs, bhangra and gidda, gurdwara visits with kirtan and langar, and nagar kirtan processions

Other regions mark their own new year around the same time: Bohag Bihu in Assam, Vishu in Kerala, Puthandu in Tamil Nadu and Pohela Boishakh in Bengal. Use each region's own name and language, not "Baisakhi". Customs are from Wikipedia.

## Timing plan

| When | What to run |
|---|---|
| 15 to 31 March | Teasers: festive wear, gifts, home, farm and rural products |
| 1 to 9 April | Main push, with delivery-by dates |
| 10 to 13 April | Last orders, local delivery, store visits |
| Wednesday 14 April | Greetings only, or a light offer |
| From 15 April | Thank-you offers, then [Akshaya Tritiya](/campaigns/akshaya-tritiya-ad-ideas) in May |

Work back from delivery. Say a courier takes four days to Punjab and you want parcels by Tuesday 13 April. Your last order is Friday 9 April (13 minus 4). Stop "arrives for Baisakhi" ads that day.

## Angles that fit

- **Harvest and thanks:** a good season, shared with family
- **New season:** new clothes, a fresh start for the home
- **Sharing:** langar is about shared meals, so family-size boxes and group tables fit. Run a "meal for others" idea only if you really do it
- **Fairs and outings:** short trips, restaurants, family photos
- **Value:** festival prices stated in rupees

| Category | Idea |
|---|---|
| Fashion | Festive wear for the whole family, with a size guide |
| Food and sweets | Sharing boxes and family meal sets |
| Farm and rural | Equipment, inputs and finance, with prices and service in Punjabi |
| Travel | Short family trips timed for the fair season |

## Respect the religious side

Sikh symbols, Gurbani and the Khalsa have religious meaning. Do not use them to sell a product. Ask a Sikh reviewer to read your creative before it goes live.

## Mistakes to avoid

- English-only creative for a Punjabi audience
- Religious symbols or Gurbani in a sale ad
- One festival name for the whole country on a day with several new years
- Promising "arrives for Baisakhi" after your courier cut-off
- Selling hard on the day, which is also Ambedkar Jayanti
