Lohri is the first festival of the #year that marks the beginning of the harvest season in Punjab, Haryana & neighbouring northern states by lighting up a bonfire in the premises or open space in a society followed by distribution of sweets – rewari, gazak & til patti including pop corn called ‘phulle.
People dance around & enjoy welcoming each other with #Greetings. Newly weds, in the middle or upper middle classes, celebrate the #occasion on a larger scale inviting friends & relatives at dinner & cock-tails. The arrival of a child in the house also makes it an occasion to celebrate.
May the festival of #Lohri brighten your life with happiness, good health and success in the days ahead.
