Punjab Events
Vaisakhi falls in April and combines harvest, cultural and major Sikh religious significance. Amritsar and Anandpur Sahib can be exceptionally busy; verify the year's arrangements.
Hola Mohalla is centred on Anandpur Sahib around the lunar calendar period following Holi. It brings religious observance, martial displays and very high local demand.
Gurpurabs commemorate events associated with the Sikh Gurus. Dates and the most important host places vary, so consult current institutional calendars.
Lohri in January marks a seasonal and social celebration across Punjab, but public events do not replace family and community contexts.
Patiala and state cultural programmes use changing schedules. Confirm the organiser, venue and year rather than planning from an undated festival list.
During any major observance, book transport and accommodation early and treat worshippers' access as the priority.
