Recognizing the historic, cultural, and religious significance of the festival of Vaisakhi, and for other purposes.

    Whereas Vaisakhi has been celebrated in the Punjab region of South Asia for centuries and today is also celebrated in communities throughout India, in the United States, and around the world;
