Legends of Lohri
1- Sun God
Lohri is celebrated on the last day of the hindu month 'Poush', as the culminasation of winter season. However, it is believedthat the ancestors have forwarded certain sacred mantra, which help to protect from the winter cold. This mantra was chanted to invoke the Sun God to radiate more heat to protect from the cold. Hence, as a gratitude, mantras of Sun God were chanted around a fire on the last day of 'Poush' ie winter season. The fire created on the day of Lohri is symbolic of the homage to the Sun God.
Where have the shawls and braziers gone?
To the golden mountain Where’s the golden mountain gone?
To the sun’s ray Where has the sun’s ray gone?
To the sun Where’s the sun gone?
To the fire The fire burns, the ray warms
The snows melt, the cold days have ended.
It has been strongly believed that the emerging flames of the fire carried their message to the Sun God. Hence, on the next day morning after Lohri, on the begining of Magh, the warm rays of the Sun take away the chill from the people's body.

Lohri Song Video & Lyrics
Script - English
Sunder mundriye ho! (Beautiful girl)
Tera kaun vicharaa ho! (Who will think about you)
Dullah Bhatti walla ho! (Dulla of the Bhatti clan will)
Dullhe di dhee vyayae ho! (Dulla's daughter got married)
Ser shakkar payee ho! (He gave one ser of sugar!)
Kudi da laal pathaka ho! (The girl is wearing a red suit!)
Kudi da saalu paata ho! (But her shawl is torn!)
Salu kaun samete! (Who will stitch her shawl?!)
Chache choori kutti! (Zamidara lutti! The uncle made choori!)
Zamindaar sudhaye! (The landlords looted it!)
Bade bhole aaye! ()
Ek bhola reh gaya! (Lots of simple-headed boys came!)
Sipahee far ke lai gaya! (One simpleton got left behind!)
Sipahee ne mari itt! (The soldier arrested him!)
Sanoo de de Lohri, te teri jeeve jodi!
