Easter and Good Friday : Good Friday is observed in India in April every year, broadly on the pattern adopted worldwide. Christians from all stratas of society visit the Church to attend the Mass held on this occasion. Easter Sunday, which follows Good Friday is celebrated with much joy and gaiety. Processions are taken out in some parts of the country.

Baisakhi : Baisakhi, celebrated with joyous music and dancing, is New Year's Day in Punjab. It falls on April 13, though once in 36 years it occurs on 14th April. It was on this day that the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, founded the Khalsa (the Sikh brotherhood) in 1699. The Sikhs, therefore, celebrate this festival as a collective birthday.

Id-ul-Fitr or Ramazan Id : is a day of feasting and rejoicing as it marks the end of the end of Ramazan (Ramadan), the Muslim time of fasting.
 
Although in Punjab, Baisakhi and Lohri are quite famous. My Fav among these is Lohri. Modern Lohri is celebrate more or less like a night Camp Fire! where fa milies get together and sit around the fire passing what we call mungfali(groundnuts),Gajak, Revri,Til etc. with each other. Also, we have music and dance around the Fire. Its Fun!
