The Festival of Vaisakhi in April, a harvest and equinoctial celebration, is accompanied by traditional music and processions. A most sacred festival is Guru Nanak Gurpurab in November. Accompanied by hymns, bands and displays of weaponry, the procession is exciting and impressive. Deepavali/Diwali, the Festival of Lights where darkness is symbolically overcome is in late October or early November as a rule. The wonderful spring festival of Holi, the Festival of colours is usually in February or March.
