Lohri is a popular festival celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and other parts of North India. Pongal in the South, Makar Sankranti in the Western parts, Bihu in Assam and Uttarayan in Gujarat, and Lohri in the North, this day marks the waning of winter and the harvesting of crops.
Blazing bonfires, folk dances and songs, and umpteen trays filled with ‘Rewari’ or sesame balls, peanuts, popcorn, and the famous ‘Sarson ka saag’, and ‘Makki Ki Roti’, the celebrations of this day are replete with non-traditional sweets that are not only delicious but super nutritious as well.
Associated with an anecdote of Ganjibar who had a daughter named Sundari who was as beautiful as her name and a warrior named Dulla Bhatti, the day brings forth a sense of celebration and the delicious anticipation of sweet treats. People circle the bonfire and throw ‘rewaris, groundnut, and popcorn kernels in the fire and wish each other and sing and dance till late night hours singing the song (Sundri Mundri hoye) to reminisce about the warrior and his beloved Sundari.
