As Indians, we cannot imagine celebrating our favorite festivals without a delightful plate of scrumptious sweets and goodies. Lohri is finally here which means it is time to burn away the sadness and get ourselves into festive spirit. Lohri is a popular winter folk festival celebrated primarily in the North Indian Subcontinent. This auspicious festival marks the end of winter and welcomes longer days along with the sun’s journey to the Northern hemisphere. The day is celebrated joyously by setting up a bonfire in the evening. The lighting of a bonfire during this winter festival is an ancient tradition. People gather together to light the bonfire to reignite the return of longer days.
