Our friends celebrated Lohri, the Panjab festival of Harvest. Everyone gathered around a bonfire to sing traditional folk songs and enjoy favorite snacks of gajak, chikki and popcorn. And kids celebrated modern costumes of roasting marshmallows and making smore’s! Prayers are offered to the bonfire for abundance and prosperity, in our case we got our wish as we ate tons of rich food and desserts afterwards!
