While it coincides with Makar Sankranti, Lohri falls on the night before Maghi, most commonly on 13 January each year. The festival is a way to thank the sun for its journey to the Northern Hemisphere and to celebrate the harvest season, especially of sugarcane, sesame, and peanuts.
Punjab remains the heart of Lohri festivities. But celebrations have spread far and wide. In Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu, families embrace the festival with more or less similar fervor.
Even across the border in Pakistan, Hindus and some Muslims in Punjab cities like Faisalabad and Lahore observe Lohri.
Bonfires, bhajis, bhangra
As soon as the sun sets, people gather around huge bonfires. They toss sesame seeds, jaggery, popcorn into flames. This ritual is said to bring prosperity and happiness. Crackling fire is matched only by sound of dhols and bhangra beats.
No Lohri celebration is complete without its treats. Rewri, gajak, til laddoos, popcorn, sugarcane juice are shared amongst family and friends.
