“India is known as a land of festivals and celebration, Lohri one of them which is unique in its perception and significance.”Festivals are the period of celebration and bring peace and joy for everyone. The festival prompts thankfulness for God’s provisions and to celebrate his creations. Lohri is a popular midwinter Punjabi folk festival, celebrated on 13 January of every year. Hindus traditionally light bonfires in their yards after the weeks of the rabi season cropping work, socializing around the fire, singing and dancing together as they mark the end of winter and the onset of longer days.
The bonfire was lit by our respected HoD Dr. Laxmi Narula, Dr. Barkha Dean/Incharge Student Welfare, Dr. Sulochana Jangu with all Faculty Members and guests.
