The first festival of 2019 is here and like us, we are sure everyone is bracing themselves for the festival of Lohri. Lohri is a Punjabi folk festival which is popularly celebrated during winters by Sikhs and Hindu Punjabis from the Punjab region. Many, in fact, believe the festival commemorates the passing of the winter solstice. It is a traditional welcome of longer days and sun's journey to the northern hemisphere by Sikhs and Hindus in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. It is observed the night before Makar Sankranti, also known as Maghi, and according to the solar part of the lunisolar Bikrami calendar, it typically falls on the same date every year (January 13).
Another belief is that the festival is celebrated by farmers especially as it marks the first harvest of winter crop season and is a remembrance of the Sun deity (Surya). Lohri songs mention the Indian Sun god asking for heat and thanking him for his return. Other legends explain the celebration as a folk reverence for fire (Agni) or the goddess of Lohri.
Lohri is celebrated by burning a bonfire wherein people move in circles offering their sugarcane products such as gurh and gachak and nuts, also letting go of negativity and embracing the positivity.
