Why is Lohri celebrated with enthusiasm? What is so
fun about the festival? Though it is a known festival but for the people who
have no clue, Lohri is celebrated because it marks the end of winter season and
is believed to welcome the sun to the northern hemisphere. It is celebrated a
night before Makar Sankranti. The festival is celebrated by Hindus, specially
Sikhs. There is a bonfire at night. Family members, friends and neighbors
gather around to celebrate the festival. Nobody is sent empty-handed. Everyone
is gifted sweets as a return-gift. There is a Lohri song which is basically a
thankyou song to Sun God for providing the heat to the crops for harvests. Dhol
is the specialty of the festival. Foods like jaggery, popcorn, sesame seeds and
puffed rice are offered in order to fire. Celebrate your Lohri in Banquet Hall in Noida at Park Ascent
