In the midst of the solidifying chilly climate, with the temperature wobbling between 0-5 degrees Celsius and the thick haze outside, everything appears to be stagnant in the northern piece of India. Be that as it may, beneath the evidently solidified surface, you would be astounded to locate a substantial flood of action going on. Individuals, particularly in the northern Indian conditions of Punjab, Haryana and parts of Himachal Pradesh, are caught up with making arrangements for Lohri — the hotly anticipated blaze celebration — when they can leave their homes and praise the reaping of the Rabi (winter) yields and offer into unwinding and getting a charge out of the customary society tunes and moves.

In Punjab, the breadbasket of India, wheat is the primary winter crop, which is sown in October and collected in March or April. In January, the fields think of the guarantee of a brilliant harvest, and agriculturists observe Lohri amid this rest period before the cutting and assembling of yields.

The earth, most distant from the sun now of time, begins its voyage towards the sun, along these lines finishing the coldest month of the year, Paush, and reporting the begin of the month of Magh and the favorable time of Uttarayan. As per the Bhagawad Gita, Lord Krishna shows himself in his full heavenliness amid this time. The Hindus "invalidate" their wrongdoings by washing in the Ganges. 

In the morning on Lohri day, kids go from way to entryway singing and requesting the Lohri "plunder" as cash and eatables like til (sesame) seeds, peanuts, jaggery, or desserts like gajak, rewri, and so forth. They sing in commendation of Dulha Bhatti, a Punjabi symbol of Robin Hood who looted the rich to help poor people, and once bailed a hopeless town young lady out of her wretchedness by getting her offered like his own sister. 

At night, with the setting of the sun, tremendous campfires are lit in the collected fields and in the front yards of houses and individuals assemble around the rising flares, circle around (parikrama) the blaze and toss puffed rice, popcorn and different munchies into the flame, yelling "Aadar yes dilather jaye" (May respect come and destitution vanish!), and sing well known people tunes. 

This is a kind of petition to Agni, the flame god, to favor the area with plenitude and success. After the parikrama, individuals meet companions and relatives, trade welcome and endowments, and circulate prasad (offerings made to god). The prasad involves five fundamental things: til, gajak, jaggery, peanuts, and popcorn. Winter savories are served around the campfire with the conventional supper of makki-di-roti (multi-millet hand-moved bread) and sarson-da-saag (cooked mustard herbs). 

Bhangra move by men starts after the offering to the campfire. Moving proceeds till late night with new gatherings participate in the midst of the beat of drums. Generally, ladies don't join Bhangra. They hold a different campfire in their yard circling it with the smooth gidda move.

Lohri is more than only a celebration, particularly for the general population of Punjab. Punjabis are a carefree, solid, strong, fiery, energetic and good humored race, and Lohri is typical of their affection for festivities and cheerful teases and show of extravagance.

Lohri commends ripeness and the delight of life, and in case of the introduction of a male youngster or a marriage in the family, it accept a bigger criticalness wherein the receiving family orchestrates a banquet and joyful making with the conventional bhangra move alongside beat instruments, similar to the dhol and the gidda. The main Lohri of another lady of the hour or an infant is considered critical.

These days, Lohri gets an open door for individuals in the group to take a break from their bustling calendar and get together to share each other's organization. In different parts of India, Lohri just about concurs with the celebrations of Pongal, Makar Sankranti, and Uttarayan all of which convey the same message of unity and praises the soul of fellowship, while expressing gratitude toward the Almighty for a plentiful life on earth.
