What is Lohri?
Lohri is a Punjabi Folk Festival which commemorates the passing of the peak winter and this is the time of the year when the rabi crops are harvested. It is celebrated the night before Makar Sankranti. There are many legends about the Lohri festival. Almost every year, it falls on the 13th January.
How is it celebrated?
On the night of Lohri, a bonfire is lit and all the family members are required to perform a parikrama around this bonfire while chikki (gajjak), sesame revri, made from sugarcane and popcorns are tossed into this bonfire. This is done as a prayer to fire (agni) for abundant prosperity and crops. After the parikrama, everyone dances to punjabi lohri songs. The first Lohri of a newly wed couple and a newborn child are especially celebrated with all relatives and friends and a mighty feast. In different parts of Punjab, it is celebrated differently.
