Lohri, the festival that marks the beginning of the harvest season, is just around the corner and Amritsar, the land of the Golden Temple, is all decked up for the festival. The festival will be celebrated in north India on January 13.

Festivity has gripped the streets of Amritsar which are lined up with stalls selling savouries such as 'gajak', 'rewari', groundnut and jaggery. The festival holds a great significance for the people of Punjab as it marks the beginning of harvesting season and end of the winter season. The main event includes making of a huge bonfire which is symbolic of the homage to the Sun God for bringing in warmth.
