Happy Lohri to me and all of you
Its an Indian harvest festival, North Indian to be specific, which is celebrated on 13th January every year. It's celebrated in night, when family and friends all get together in outdoors and have a bonfire. Everybody revolves around bonfire 7 times and offers peanuts, popcorns and sweets to bonfire. This is followed by loud punjabi songs and dances.
One of the most famous lohri folk song goes like this:
Sunder mundriye ho!
Tera kaun vicaharaa ho!
Dullah bhatti walla ho!
Dullhe di dhee vyayae ho!
Ser shakkar payee ho!
Kudi da laal pathaka ho!
Kudi da saalu paatta ho!
Salu kaun samete!
Chache choori kutti!
zamidara lutti!
Zamindaar sudhaye!
bade bhole aaye!
Ek bhola reh gaya!
Sipahee far ke lai gaya!
Sipahee ne mari eet!
Sanoo de de lohri te teri jeeve jodi!
Bhaanvey ro te bhaanvey pit!
