Vaisakhi ((パンジャーブ語:ਵਿਸਾਖੀ)) '), also known as ''Baisakhi'', ''Vaishakhi'', or ''Vasakhi'') refers to the harvest festival of the Punjab region, the Punjabi new year falling on the same day, Khalsa Sirjana Divas and Mesha Sankranti festival. ==Date and observance== The day represents the vernal (Spring) equinox which occurs around 21 March but the day is marked on 13 or 14 April due to changes in the calendar.〔Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Volume 3 (1869) Asiatic Society ()〕 The festival is especially important for the Sikh community as it marks the establishment of the Khalsa which is also termed Khalsa Sirjana Divas 〔(I. J. Singh. Sikhs Today: Ideas & Opinions )〕 and falls on the first day of Vaisakh which is the second month of the Nanakshahi calendar. In other cases, Vaisakhi falls on Mesha Sankranti (the first of the solar month of Vaisakha) which marks the start of the solar new year across many parts of the sub-continent using luni-solar calendars and is important for Hindus. In regions where the regional new year begins with the start of the lunar new year,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (Gudhi Padwa) )〕 Mesha Sankranti is also considered to be an important day. The festival also coincides with other new year festivals celebrated on the first day of Vaisakh, in some regions of the Indian Subcontinent such as Pohela Boishakh the Bengali New Year, Bohag Bihu of Assam or Puthandu, the Tamil New Year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vaisakhi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
