Lohri heralds the return of Sun - days get longer after the end of winter solstice. After months of chilly winter months, it is time to celebrate the end of it and look forward to balmy spring. Lohri is also the time for family time - standing around bonfires and munching on rewri (a sweet preparation made from Sesame seeds) and groundnuts. It is also the time for songs and dance.
Lohri functions are also the time to sport ethnic wear. As Lohri is essentially a Punjabi festival, what can be better than showing off one's Patiala suits? Not many will have them as it is not a daily wear choice. However, there are enough options available online, if you are keen on buying one.
With its dhoti styled pants and body-fitting kurta, a Patiala salwar kameez looks suitably festive. When paired with a jooti (flat Indian footwear) and a traditional jewellery, it can look very charming.
