New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday greeted people on Lohri and wished for joy and good health everywhere.
"Happy Lohri! We pray that there is joy and good health everywhere. May this special occasion further compassion and kindness all across," Modi tweeted.
He also tweeted Lohri wishes in Punjabi.
Lohri is widely celebrated in Punjab and Haryana to mark the harvesting of Rabi crops. People traditionally celebrate it by circling around bonfires, throwing food items -- peanuts, puffed rice, popcorn, etc. -- into the fire, singing folk songs, dancing and feasting on the festive food.
