Mussoorie, April 13
The audience was mesmerised by folk dance perfomers from Punjab during the Baisakhi celebrations organised at Shaheed Sthal under the aegis of Punjabi Mahasabha in Mussoorie today.
The folk artistes performed the bhangra and gidda, the two dance forms associated with the festival, much to the appreciation of the gathered audience here.
The president of Punjabi Mahasabha, Mussoorie, MPS Khurana, welcoming people on the occasion said that the objective of organising Baisakhi festival celebrations was to spread the message of goodwill in the town.
Khurana extended greetings to all on the occasion and said that Baisakhi festival marks the beginning of the solar year and good harvest.
Baisakhi has special significance for Sikhs. On this day in 1699, their Tenth Guru Gobind Singhji organised the order of the Khalsa, said MPS Khurana. Former Member of Legislative Assembly Mussoorie Jot Singh Gunsola, Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board member Sandeep Sahni and others were present on the occasion.
