Brampton's Lohri, delivered by GoDirect
What is Lohri?
Lohri is the Punjabi festival that marks the end of winter's longest nights and the harvest of the rabi crops, sugarcane and wheat. On the evening of 13 January, families and neighbours gather round a bonfire, offer til, gur, peanuts and popcorn to the flames, sing the old Lohri songs and dance bhangra and giddha.
The next morning is Maghi, the start of the month of Magh, which many families also celebrate as Makar Sankranti with til and gur. In Brampton, Mississauga and across the GTA, Lohri has become one of the biggest nights of the winter, in backyards, community halls and gurdwaras.
