And they eat mufli, reriz and other stuff all night and they dance and sign and sing and sing!πAnd people go to other people's houses and ask for lohri! π

And yes, after Lohri, in some parts of punjab, people celebrate 'Maghi'. According to Hindu beliefs, this is an auspicious day to take a holy dip in the river and give away charity. Sweet dishes (usually kheer) are prepared with sugar cane juice to mark the day.

Lohri is more than just a festival, especially for the people of Punjab. Punjabis are a fun-loving, sturdy, robust, energetic, enthusiastic and jovial race, and Lohri is symbolic of their love for celebrations and light-hearted flirtations and exhibition of exuberance.

"Hulle nee maiyee hulle

Kut! Kut! Bharaya thaal woti bave nananaa nal
Ninaan te wadi parjaee
So kudma de ghar aayee!

tvade jogi main batheri
mainu dyo badhaiyaan ji
Hulle Hullare"
