Somebody has rightly said if you want to learn how to celebrate, go to a Punjabi’s house. Lohri, is one of the festivals that is celebrated in a grand way. All the ladies come dressed in colourful Patiala suits and gents in kurta payjama and celebrate this occasion by lighting up a big bonfire.
Everybody throws popcorn, groundnut and rewri into the bonfire and distribute them amongst the guests as Prasad. If it's a couple’s first Lohri after marriage or if a child has taken a birth around the same time, their family members call for drum players and invite their neighbours and relatives to dance.
After the celebration, the whole gathering enjoys Lohri special meal, which is sarso ka saag (cooked mustard herbs) and makki di roti (multi-millet hand-rolled bread).
