@jayasimha78

Thanks looking forward to see you at meet up. Thanks for your support.

This is a beautiful write up @RosyKohli . Enjoyed reading it as much as seeing those delicious food pictures. I knew about Makar Sankranti and Bihu (do Bengalis in India celebrate bihu as well? I thought only the Assamese did that). In fact, in our country also we have seen the Sakrain festival in January. But I didn’t know the relationship between these festivals and Panjabi Lohri. Thanks for educating us with these information.

[Gurukrishnapriya]

Very nice description about the festival @RosyKohli Ma’am. The Prasad prepared by you is healthy and tempting. Thanks for sharing the links related to this festival. All the very best.
