Lohri

The Punjabi midwinter harvest festival marking the end of the coldest period and the passing of the winter solstice, held on the eve of Makar Sankranti. Families gather around a bonfire, offer sesame, jaggery and popcorn to the fire, and sing traditional songs, with special celebration for newborns and newlyweds.
