today is lohri!!I am so happy ,but at work ..thinking about lohri reminds me of..
Bonfire..some good sweets,rice pudding and dance all night!!
but scenario in US is different..parties only at weekend!!which starts tomorrow ...as today is thursday,
Lohri is celebrated with great joy and fervor specially among the farmers fraternity as this festival is associated with the harvesting of the Rabi (winter) crops. The festival of Lohri is an Occasions that urges people to extend their thankfulness and prayers to the God for being so kind and bringing prosperity for all. Lohri is celebrated by Sikhs & Hindus alike, in the North Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and parts of Himachal Pradesh. ...
For Punjabis, Lohri is more than just a festival, and also an example of a way of life. The essence of Lohri is celebration of fertility and the spark of life. An extremely auspicious day, Lohri marks the sun's entry in to the 'Makar Rashi' (northern hemisphere). The period, beginning from 14 January lasting till 14 July, is known as Uttarayan. It is also the last day of the month of Maargazhi, the ninth month of the lunar calendar.
May all your wishes come true
and may you achieve everything you desire.
Enjoy your day and don’t forget to put revari,(jaggery balls)
popcorn & moongfali(peanuts) in the Lohri fire...or in your fire place :)
It will definitely bring luck to you!
God bless!!

Hello Harman,
Greetings and good wishes for Lohri.
This is the first time I am reading about Lohri since most of my life I spent in the South with about four years in Madhya Pradesh.
In Tamilnadu Pongal is celebrated at this time for almost about a week.
India is always incredible and no one will be able to know all the festivals,customs and tradition prevailing in India.There is so much diversity.It was interesting to read your elaborate information about Lohri.
Wish you all the best,
Joseph

Dear Harman
First time to hear about this festival.We have so much of diversities,it is hard to keep track.Thanks for sharing.In the South,Pongal is celebrated now.Tamil Nadu has many special recipes named after the festival.Like Rama said,the idea behind both celebrations appear the same.
Blessings
