Punjab celebrates harvest festival Baisakhi 04/14/2008 http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/uncategorized/punjab-celebrates-harvest-festival-baisakhi_10037581.html
Hoshiarpur/Amritsar (Punjab), April 13 (IANS) People loaded on tractor-trolleys, trucks, buses and private vehicles headed for destinations of their choice this Sunday. It was certainly a busy day for Punjab as the state celebrated the festival of good harvest - Baisakhi. Sikh religious shrines - gurdwaras - were the main centre of attraction for most people from villages and those from towns and cities as they lined up to pray. The holiest of Sikh shrines - Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) - in Amritsar got the maximum rush of the devout as people came from far and near to seek blessings for a good harvest.
