As the tradition goes, the procession was led by the Panj Pyaras (the five beloved ones) and followed by the holy scripture of the Sikhs (Guru Granth Sahib) placed on a golden palanquin, decorated with flowers.
The procession was marked by rendering of shabad kirtan (holy hymns) by various groups of men, women and children.
Vaisakhi is the most important Sikh festival that is celebrated by millions of Sikhs across the globe.
The festival marks the day in 1699 when the 10th Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, founded the Sikh community known as the Khalsa. It also marks the onset of the harvest season and the Sikh New Year.
