Product Information

When my mother-in-law was a child in India, kids would go house to house with a bag on the day of Lohri, and people would give them popcorn, sesame sweets, and money– almost like Halloween in the U.S.. The families who give out the treats are the ones in which there has been a birth or marriage of a son in the last year. Lohri is an ancient mid-winter festival originating in regions near the Himalayan mountains where winter is colder than the rest of the subcontinent. Hindus and Sikhs traditionally lit bonfires in their yards after the weeks of the Rabi season cropping work, socialized around the fire, sang and danced together as they marked the end of winter and the onset of longer days. Historically, during the 19th century, revenue for winter crops was collected either on Lohri or Maghi. [49] Celebration area [ edit ] Bhangra Ready to perform Punjabi cultural dance" Gidha"

The festival is celebrated by lighting bonfires, eating festive food, dancing and collecting gifts. In houses that have recently had a marriage or childbirth, Lohri celebrations will reach a higher pitch of excitement. Most North Indians usually have private Lohri celebrations, in their houses. Lohri rituals are performed, with the accompaniment of special Lohri songs. [34]
