Lohri Celebration at Mahavirji Temple!

Lohri is celebrated with great gusto and fervour every year at the Mahavirji Temple, popularly known as the Pahariwala Mandir. This celebration, however, sees a very small gathering of about 25 people as most people celebrate lohri in a small way in their houses. Logs of wood were piled up systematically by the gardeners on the northern side of the temple. All the priests of the temple and a handful of devotees gathered around the pile at 7.15 pm. A few shlokas were recited by the priests before lighting the holy fire. All the devotees did a “parikrama” of the holy fire. Prasad consisting of rewri, peanuts and popcorn was distributed.
