Lohri festival

Lohri is a festival of Sikhs. On this day all the farmers in Punjab cut their crops happily. Many people celebrate Lohri with a bonfire. 

Especially in Punjab people organize very big events in which there are many dances and competitions too. I also celebrated Lohri very nicely. 

Near my house there was bonfire first I thought they are warming themselves.Then I remembered that today is Lohri  I also went there ,they all were celebrating it with great joy. There was a big speaker and Punabi songs were playing and they were also doing Bhangra. We also danced.

After sometime we thrown some Pop corns and some dry fruits as Prasad on the bonfire and then we took a round of a bonfire. We also eaten revri,ghazak,popcorn and peanuts.

 When I came back home I saw my mother cooking some special food I asked my mother what is it? she told me that we cook this food “Mangaudi” on Lohri. After that I ate Mangaudi with green chutney, it was very tasty and then I slept.

One amazing fact is that Lohri night is the longest night of the year.
