The Annual California Celebration of Baisakhi at the Los Angeles Convention Center will be held Sunday, April 11th, from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Kirtan Darbar, through 3:00 p.m. and Nagar Kirtan begins at 3:00 p.m.

This year Sikhs celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Adi Guru Granth Sahib, the first version of what we now revere as Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. So as we celebrate Baisakhi we remember that special day in 1604, Guru Arjan Dev Ji seated Adi Granth on a Royal Palki Sahib and after a grand procession, installed the Guru Granth in the Hari Mandir Sahib, where we have celebrated Guru's presence ever since.

Langar will be served throughout the program.
