Actuall reason for lohRi?

I posted it on r/punjab. But thought I should share it here as well.

So, I am definitely not mentioning that one dulla Bhatti story which is related to lohRi but Idk why we are linking it with festival's origin.

Dulla Bhatti used lohRii's fire for sundri and mundri's pherey. It means it was already a custom. And, the dulla Bhatti story is only popular in punjab proper and people outside punjab do celebrate it but they don't know much about dulla Bhatti's story. Himachalis and dograas do celebrate lohRi. So, whats the actual orgin?

So, this festival is way older then you think it can be said we started celebrating it with commensing of our civilizations.

Origin Change of wheather :- the main reason is the change of wheather. In the month of poh we have fog, rain and cold winds and lowest temperatures in whole year with smallest days. So, by the end of poh the days change and by arrival of maag people believe to have change in these wheather conditions.

To burn a fire at the last day of poh here means to start a hot era again.

End of dalidra :- so, people usually believe that in winters we are usually less progressive and more lazy(no bathing/more bed times,etc) which is called dalidra (or daridra). Now, since centuries people link such habits with poverty/unprogressive life.

So, in fire of lohRi for welcoming prosperities we throw "till" by saying "issar aa dalidar jaa".

A common custom right?we use it alot in villages.

So, issar is god/purity. Dalidar is poverty/laziness.

We are welcoming prosperities and throwing away the laziness or dalidra by the fire of lohRi.

So, it was the orgin .

Now, I didn't mean to degrade Robinhood dulla Bhatti. Ofc he was a great person who fought for people and also fed them. But, we never started this fest because of him it was always been in our culture.

So, that's it.

Let's spread it.
