Lohri Songs
Lohri songs are an integral part of Lohri festival, as without them the Lohri celebrations are incomplete. Lohri is mainly celebrated in Punjab and northern India. In the night when the Lohri is lit, people perform folk dances on the beats of dhol (folk drum) and sing Lohri songs to create a perfect ambience of Lohri celebrations.
All the customs that are followed on Lohri add to the liveliness of the celebrations that everyone remembers till the next Lohri.
Some of the famous Lohri songs are:
Lohri songs for girls
“Hulle nee maiyee hulle
do beri patte jhulle
do jhul payeaan kahjurran
khajurran suttya meva
es munde de ghar mangeva
es munde di voti nikdi
oh! khandi choori, kutdi
Kut! Kut! Bharaya thaal woti bave nananaa nal
Ninaan te wadi parjaee
So kudma de ghar aayee!
mein lohri lain aayee!”

The song given below is also sung when children visit each and every house to collect the Lohri contributions.
Sunder mundriye ho!
