Sankranti/Lohri/ Kite Festival celebration – Jaatre

Sankranti/Lohri/ Kite Festival celebration – Jaatre

Festival is an opportunity for us to relook why we celebrate and how do I connect with the culture of the festival. This brought us to rethink why we do what we do in our culture.

Tie mango leaves in the entrance of the door?

Designing Rangoli?

Making specific sweets for the festival?

Do pooja – What’s the importance?

Lohri Bon Fire / Bhogi – Why we do?

In the process, we discussed each other’s views and shared our understanding.

Some culture is just for a welcoming, looking pleasant, few had stories behind, few connected to science, few had some culture started with purpose and being changed to just do decor or look pleasant and feel good.

After pondering we ended the celebration with pooja and yummy Lunch.
