In evening, We have bonfire in a bowl we take prasaad ( popcorn, Gajka, Rewri, til chikki, take Parikrama( round around bonfire) .

You have to take 4 or 7 round Parikrama. While moving around bonfire we throw little popcorn & Rewri, in fire… Then after round is complete join hand prayer then pick few popcorn,rewri near fire have it. Rest prasaad distrub it to everyone around us.

They do Gidda( dance) sing folk song Sundri & Mundri, traditional folk songs of Lohri with “Dulla Bhatti” name included. One person sings, while others end each line with a loud “Ho!”

Sunder mundriye ho!
Tera kaun vicharaa ho!
Dullah Bhatti walla ho!
Dullhe di dhee vyayae ho!

( There a story during Mughal period there were two beautiful girls Sundri & Mundri was taken away by mughal mens sold in slave market were rescue by Dulla Bhatti. He helped poor girls to get married. He used robbed money from the rich and gave to the poor . So his name is used every one wished have like him as partner.)

We send wishes of lohri to our near, dear ones

@TravellerG @indahnuria @RosyKohli @today you made me enter a different dimension, thank you so much for this sharing. We live in the same mother earth, but the social and religious paths are very different from each other. It is nice to feel part of the happiness that other men and women know how to express with forms and rituals different from those to which you are used to. A respectful greeting to all of you

Happy Lohri, @RosyKohli and everyone who’s celebrating!

Nice pictures of the celebration and the food. They look like you have a lot of fun during Lohri. So, what does Lohri mean? Is it prasad as in food offerings or presents or giving away food to others? Thanks for sharing the beautiful culture and the details.
