Lohri involves a ceremonial bonfire, singing Lohri songs, and making offerings of popcorn, peanuts (groundnuts), and rewri (a sweet made with sesame seeds and jaggery) into the fire. Groups of children also go around the neighborhood singing Lohri songs, and it is customary in some places for householders to give the singing children treats or money. The festivities include folk dances such as bhangra and giddha.
