Baisakhi marks the birth of Khalsa Panth under Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru of Sikhs. Guru Gobind Singh summoned a special assembly in the Keshgarh Fort at Anandpur on the Baisakhi day on March 30, 1699. To the devotees gathered there, he asked, "The entire sangat is very dear to me; but is there a devoted Sikh who will give his head to me here and now? A need has arisen at this moment which calls for a head." Five Sikhs came forward. They are referred as 'Panj Pyaare', founding members of the Khalsa Panth. That's how Khalsa Panth came into existence on the day of Baisakhi. Promoting the message of UNITY AND BROTHERHOOD,
All the five men were.

Khalsa is the Sikh way of life. Khalsa were enjoined by Guru Gobind Singh to have faith in One God and consider all human beings equal. They were given the surname 'Singh' and were asked to wear 5Ks or emblems at all the time - kesh (unshorn hair and beard), kangha (a comb), kara (a steel bracelet), kachcha (cotton undergarment) and kirpan, a sword.
