With the first festival of new year, Gurpreet Kaur Chadha welcomes 2021 with positivity!
Lohri, simultaneously known as Makar Sankranti, Bihu, Pongal, Gyarah etc in different parts of our country, is just gone by and Gurpreet Kaur Chadha who bids her farewell to 2020 with the festivities of 2021, says, “Lohri is a festival of farmers, Indian food soldiers. Marvels and heroes, we dedicate this festival to them”.
Marking the commencement of the sun’s journey to the northern hemisphere, with warmer, longer days and shorter nights, and the beginning of the harvest season, this day is celebrated amid lots of fanfare and enthusiastic kite flying.
The sky was a riot of colors at the Chadha residence with all the guests singing and dancing to the tune of Punjabi tracks. Guests gathered around the holy bonfire, sang their famous traditional song, and danced on them. They were offered with the traditional food- peanuts, til Rewari, maize seeds, etc.
“2020 was a tough year for all. Though it took a lot from us, it taught us the true meaning of togetherness and selflessness. We welcome 2021 with positivity and festivals and what better than the first festival of the year Lohri and Makar Sankranti. Just like the pandemic got us together, it is time we celebrate the festivals and strengthen our bond” says Gurpreet Kaur Chadha.
