Karnavati University hosted a vibrant Lohri celebration, bringing the warmth and festivity of this traditional Punjabi festival right into the heart of its campus. The event was a joyous occasion that not only celebrated the harvest season but also fostered a sense of unity and cultural appreciation among the diverse student body.
As the winter chill lingered in the air, the campus came alive with the crackling sounds of the Lohri bonfire, a central element of the festival. Students, faculty, and staff gathered around the fire, its golden flames casting a warm glow on the faces of the attendees. The bonfire symbolizes the sun deity and is believed to ward off the winter chill and bring good luck. Students took turns tossing peanuts, popcorn, and sesame seeds into the fire, an age-old ritual that signifies offering prayers for a bountiful harvest and prosperity.
