Lohri holds a great significance as it makes the harvesting season in Punjab and the end of winter season. The main event is making of a huge bonfire which is symbolic of the homage to the Sun God for bringing in warmth. Lohri celebrations generate a lot of bonhomie as people sit around the bonfire praying for prosperity, making offerings of til (gingelly), moongphali (peanuts), Chrirwa (beaten rice) and popcorn to the burning embers. All these accounts and references point to the significance of saluting the Sun. The Sun is a symbol of plenty; it gives us all we need. Fire sanctifies our endeavor for a good life on the one hand and destroys evil spirits on the other.
