New Delhi: Lohri is a festival which marks the beginning of harvest season and the end of bone-chilling winter.
The festival is celebrated with great zeal in many parts of North India.
How to celebrate it?
Lohri day starts with children going in their neighbourhood from door-to-door demanding their Lohri share, in the form of eatables - rewri, gajak, popcorn, etc.
Then comes the major highlight of the festival where a bonfire is setup in an open area and people offer their prayers to lord 'Agni' by performing parikrama.
Tossing sesame seeds, popcorn, gajak, rewri, etc on the bonfire is a major highlight.
After worshipping lord 'Agni', people distribute prasad to their relatives and neighbours.
After the bonfire rituals, men and women come in groups to perform bhangra.
