I have decided to forgo Lohri celebrations this year in light of the deadly wildfires raging in Southern California. Given the devastation and the risks posed by fires,
it doesn’t feel right to light bonfires while so many are suffering. Instead, I will take this time to pray for those affected, for the firefighters battling the blazes, and for the safety of all communities in harm’s way.
Lohri is a festival of warmth, gratitude, and togetherness. This year, I choose to honor its spirit by standing in solidarity with those facing loss and hardship. If anyone wishes to join me, I encourage supporting relief efforts and extending help to those in need. We did formal bonfire by burning a few papers though.
