The morning of the Lohri day is fun for all. Children sing the “bhajan” of “Dulha Bhatti” who was the Punjabi avatar of Robin Hood. They go from door to door and demand the Lohri “loot”. This can include eatables like peanuts, sesame (til), jaggery (gurh), seeds, and delicious sweets like rewri, gajak etc. The Lohri “loot” can also include money. The Lohri evening is even more fun as a large bonfire is lit in the front yards of houses and in the harvested fields. People do the “parikrama” or the circling round the bonfire and throw munchies like popcorns and puffed rice into the rising flame. Which part of the Lohri festival, do you like the best?
