The tercentenary celebration (1699-1999) of the Khalsa Vaisakhi on 13 March 1999 - April 2000. Crowds of people are listening to music by a band. The Khalsa Vaisakhi celebration was held to commemorate Vaisakhi 1699, three hundred years before, when Guru Gobind Singh initiated the first five members of the Khalsa. Khalsa means 'pure' and is the name given to all baptised Sikhs.
