Holla Mahalla, which is sometimes termed as ‘Holla’ is a Sikh festival. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji (1666-1708) the tenth prophet-teacher of the Sikhs started Holla Mohalla a kind of March on Chet vadi 1 (the day after the full moon day), 1757 Bikrami of the lunar month of chet, the first desi month in the lunar calendar i.e. 22 February 1701 from Quilla Holgarh Sahib, Sri Anandpur Sahib, which now falls in Ropar District of Punjab.

Basanti means yellow colour and panchmi means the fifth day of the bright half of the
lunar month. Being ignorant about the origin and background of Basant Panchmi, in
general people consider it a socio-cultural festival and celebrate it with great pomp and
show.

Holding a khanda (double-edged sword) in his right hand and his severed
head in his left hand Baba Dip Singh Ji (1682-1757) sacrified his life fighting against
oppression for the liberation of Sri Harimandar Sahib, Amritsar.

 Sri Guru Ram Das Ji was born in Chuna Mandi Bazaar, Lahore (now in Pakistan) on September 24, 1534. The existing Gurdwara called Gurdwara Janam Asthan Sri Guru Ram Das Ji has been built at the place of the earlier Gurdwara in Multan Mohalla Kucha Jamadaran, walled-city of Lahore (Pakistan). 

            The roots of the word sootak are 'soot' and 'parsoot' which means being born or being delivered. The root of the word paatak is 'paat' which means overthrow or end.  According to the Hindu Shastras sootak implies the defilement or ritual impurity caused by the birth of a child and paatak means the defilement or ritual impurity caused by the death of a person.

 Sri Guru Amar Das Ji was born on Baisakh Sudi 14, 1636 Bikrami i.e. May 5, 1479 at Basarke Gillan village, which is about 13 kms. south-west from Amritsar, in district Amritsar, Punjab.

The Sikh history of the 16th, 17th and 18th century is replete with atrocities impinged on the Sikhs by the Mughal and Afghan invaders and their descendents who ruled India.

In the blood-stained pages of Sikh history (i) Chhota Ghallughara (Minor Holocaust) which occurred during March-June 1746 and (ii) Vadda Ghallughara (Major Holocaust) which took place on February 5, 1762, in each of which 40,000 Sikhs were killed present examples unparalleled in world history.
