HQ celebrates Vaisakhi

Vaisakhi, the seasonal festival celebrated in Punjab and in fact all over the country under different auspices, is a day of celebration for the people of Punjab, for the blessing of a bountiful harvest season. The streets are bedecked with colourful buntings, processions of families are seen going to the Gurdwara with flowers and offerings in hand, and endless Bhangra performances can be seen.

The colourful Bhangra is a strenuous dance that tells the story of the agricultural process, from tilling the soil, sowing seeds all the way through to harvesting. It prepares the people of Punjab for the joy of the harvest season and it is a day of feasting and merriment before the hard, tiring but fruitful time ahead.

In Punjab (known as the land of Green Revolution) particularly, and in the northern belt of India in general, farmers then commence their harvesting and the festival is an exultation of the farmers’ hard work all year round.

In true tradition of this joyous celebration the HQ hotel in Vasco is celebrating Vaisakhi and everyone is invited to join the celebrations and festivities. Keeping in tune with the celebration and the bountiful harvest, the menu is elaborate and brings all the old time favorites of  ‘ganne ke raas’, rajmah  ki tikki, fish tikka Amritsari, aachari gohst and more, in fact lots more that only needs you to be present to sample. The menu has taken the best from the region that is presented to you for the celebrations and of course the evening would be incomplete without a ‘bhangra’ performance that will get your feet grooving to the beat and to continue the celebrations through the evening we have organized a DJ to keep the groove on for the rest of the evening. For more details please contact: the HQ. Tel: 7709003237.
