Lohri, celebrated a day before Makar Sankranti, holds deep cultural significance, especially among the Sikh community. It marks the end of winter and celebrates the harvest season. Across the nation, and particularly in Punjab and Haryana, people are coming together with immense enthusiasm to celebrate this auspicious festival.
Traditional rituals will take center stage, with families, neighbors, and friends gathering to offer jaggery, sesame seeds, and popcorn to the holy fire. The festivities will include singing folk songs and performing lively traditional dances like Bhangra and Gidda around the crackling flames. The spirit of Lohri is one of warmth, community, and gratitude for nature’s bounty.
Meanwhile, the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 has commenced with the sacred bath on Paush Purnima in Prayagraj. On this occasion, PM Modi extended his wishes to devotees and tourists via social media, calling the Maha Kumbh a “symbol of India’s eternal heritage.” In his heartfelt message, he acknowledged the millions gathering in faith and prayed for a wonderful experience for all attendees.
As India celebrates Lohri and the Maha Kumbh simultaneously, the essence of cultural unity and shared traditions resonates across the country, blending faith and festivity in a vibrant tapestry of joy and devotion.
