Lohri SMS

The end of the winter season and the beginning of the harvest season is celebrated as Lohri by the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and Jammu. This joyous festival is celebrated on 13th of January every year, with much pomp and fanfare. Since wheat is the main crop in Punjab which is sowed in October, March or April serves as the best time to harvest it. Thus, people celebrate Lohri to signify and thank the lord for a bountiful harvest before they proceed towards cutting and gathering the crops. Bonfires are the major attractions of the festival that are offered popcorns, peanuts, rayveri and various other sweets. These customs are accompanied by traditional folk dances and songs.
