Today, in the Sikh community we are celebrating Lohri and Maghi, two vibrant festivals filled with joy, gratitude, and reflection.

Lohri, celebrated on the eve of Maghi, marks the end of winter and the harvest of rabi crops in punjab. It’s a time for families to come together, light bonfires, share traditional foods like gajak ( a dry sweet made of sesame seeds, peanuts and jaggery) and revdi (sugar and white sesame seed balls) and sing songs of gratitude for nature’s blessings. A popular dish is also made which is saag (spinach) to celebrate the month of harvest.

The next day, Maghi, holds spiritual significance for Sikhs. It commemorates the heroic sacrifice of the 40 Mukte (liberated ones) who valiantly stood with Guru Gobind Singh Ji during the Battle of Muktsar. It’s a day of remembrance, prayer , and community service.

These festivals remind us of the importance of gratitude, resilience, and unity. Whether you celebrate or are simply learning about them, let’s embrace the spirit of these beautiful traditions.

Happy Lohri to those Celebrating 💜
