There is special importance of this harvest festival in India, especially celebrated in the Punjab and Haryana regions of North India. It is celebrated to honour the cultural heritage, the maturity and harvest of crops, and community spirit every year for centuries.
There is a tradition to worship Agni Dev on the day of Lohri as it is said to bring you his protection, peace, and happiness. The devotees celebrate this festival to welcome new crops. “The devotees pray for good crops by offering grains of the new crop to the fire. The fire of Lohri is considered a symbol of protection from evil eyes. People circle around the fire and ask for their wishes. On the day of Hadi, people pray for happiness and prosperity. God is pleased by putting ghee, sesame, jaggery, etc., in the fire,” said the astrologer.
