Cute little Lohri cake that I made for a Lohri party we attended for our friend's new baby boy!
LOHRI: is a traditional seasonal festival in India celebrating winter's end and the returning prominence of the sun to the Northern Hemisphere. Among Hindus and Sikhs Lohri is a particularly special occasion for families who have had a baby during the previous year; families may celebrate with a feast and family members and friends often give gifts to the new child. Another old tradition is for children to go door to door singing for candy from the neighbors, not unlike Halloween.
Throughout India Lohri today is widely celebrated at night with bonfires and dancing. People eat seasonal nuts and candies and also throw them into the fire.
