Everyone enjoys themselves on Lohri Day morning. Youngsters perform the “bhajan” of “dulha bhatti,” the punjabi version of Robin Hood. They demand the lohri “loot” by going door to door. foods like peanuts, sesame (til), jaggery (gurh), seeds, and delectable desserts like rewri and gajak are examples of this. The “loot” of the lohri may also contain cash. A big bonfire is set in the front yards of homes and in the fields that have been harvested, making the Lohri evening even more enjoyable. People circle around the bonfire, doing the “parikrama,” and toss snacks like popcorn and puffed rice into the roaring flames. Which aspect of the Lohri celebration is your favorite?
