Guess what today is? pretend you didn't read the title of my thread.
Today the 13th of Jan is Lohri Day!!
For some who don't know:
The 13th day of January or the date of Lohri is considered extremely auspicious by Hindus as it marks the sun's entry in to the 'Makar Rashi' (the Capricorn) from the Tropic of Cancer. In other words, sun starts moving towards Uttarayan (North) from Dakshinayana (south).
In Punjab, Rabi or winter crop is sown in the month of October and harvested in the month of March or April. For the farming community mid-January is an apt time to celebrate Lohri as fields are blooming and promising a golden harvest at that time. Besides, January is the period of rest for farmers as there is still sometime before they begin cutting of the crop.
Come and celebrate Lohri with IF Crazies this year.
Wishing you all a very Happy Lohri. May this year bring happiness for all.
