Lohri 2020: 

The festival of Lohri is celebrated before Makar Sankranti. Lohri is the main festival of Punjabis, so it is most popular in Punjab and Haryana. Lohri is a festival to rejoice and dance in the form of bhangra. Today, Lohri is popular in the entire country including Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal. The festival has a special tradition of eating peanuts, revdi, popcorn, and Gazaks and offering them to people. Earlier in the evening people first put Revdis and peanuts in the fire. Since Lohri is considered to be the main festival of farmers, therefore it is festival celebrated after harvesting the crop, then they set Lohri (fire) and rotate around it while dancing.
