The 2025 Baisakhi Festival will be held from April 12 to 15 at Gurdwara Panja Sahib in Hassan Abdal, Attock district, Pakistan. It will attract approximately 12,000 Sikh pilgrims from India and beyond.

Pilgrims will begin arriving on April 10-11 for this annual celebration at the historic gurdwara known for Guru Nanak’s handprint. During the event, a sacred stone will be kept in an unlocked building for visitors.

#Pakistan has issued over 6,500 visas to Indian #Sikh pilgrims for the #Baisakhi.

To manage the large influx, pilgrims will be divided into two groups, visiting different Gurdwaras before uniting for the main celebration at #NankanaSahib on April 14.

The Gurdwara, built-in 1823 by Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa, a key figure under Maharaja Ranjit Singh, covers an area of 396 square yards. It features stunning two-story rooms and underground spaces. After the Sikh stewardship began in 1920, the Gurdwara was renovated in 1933. Despite being 205 years old, its structure remains a visual gem. The Gurdwara also owns properties in Hassan Abdal, Rawalpindi, Attock, and Hazro.

Sikh lore ties the site to Guru Nanak, who reportedly wrestled spiritually with Baba Wali Kandhari and struck the ground to create a holy spring. During Baisakhi, pilgrims bathe in this water and touch Guru Nanak’s handprint, seeking purification. The langar, cooked in pure desi ghee, adds to the communal spirit. A special train from Lahore to Hassan Abdal is ready to roll for the festivities.

This festival celebrates Sikh heritage and unity at one of the faith’s largest gurdwaras. With its rich history and spiritual significance, Baisakhi 2025 promises a vibrant pilgrimage.
