Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday visited Harshu Enclave on Nagla Tarai Road in his hometown Khatima and participated in a public Lohri celebration at the residence of Sumit Gumber, joining people from the Sikh and other communities who danced joyfully to the beat of the dhol.

The Chief Minister also extended warm greetings to the people of the state on the occasion of Lohri, wishing them happiness, prosperity, good health, and renewed energy.

In a post on X, CM Dhami wrote, "Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the residents of the state on the auspicious festival of Lohri, filled with joy and enthusiasm. May this festival bring happiness, prosperity, good health, and renewed energy into your lives. This is our heartfelt wish."

Earlier, President Droupadi Murmu extended greetings for Lohri, Makar Sankranti, Pongal, and Magh Bihu, asserting that the festivals are symbols of India's rich agricultural traditions and national unity.

"Heartfelt greetings to all Indians living in the country and abroad on the occasion of Lohri, Makar Sankranti, Pongal, and Magh Bihu. These festivals are symbols of India's rich agricultural traditions and national unity. On this occasion, we also express our gratitude towards nature. Through these festivals, we convey our thanks to the farmer benefactors. My best wishes are that these festivals bring happiness and prosperity into everyone's lives," the President said.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah also extended wishes on Lohri and prayed for the happiness and prosperity of the citizens.

"Heartfelt greetings on the festival of 'Lohri', a symbol of enthusiasm, zeal, and new energy. May this festival be a means of happiness and prosperity for all," Shah posted on X.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also extended wishes on Lohri, calling it a festival of joy and celebration that brings boundless happiness and prosperity to citizens.

"Heartiest greetings to all of you on the occasion of Lohri. On this auspicious occasion of Lohri, heartfelt congratulations to everyone. May this festival of joy and celebration bring boundless happiness and prosperity into your lives," Kharge wrote on 'X'.

Magh Bihu, a major harvest festival of Assam, marks the end of the harvest season in Magh and is celebrated with community feasts.

Along with Lohri, Pongal, Sankranti, and Uttarayan, it represents the diverse ways harvest festivals are celebrated across India.

Lohri celebrations, particularly in northern India, are marked by bonfires, traditional foods, and folk songs, adding warmth and joy to the festive season.

Good to see leaders participating in local festivals. It shows they are connected to the people. But I hope this is followed by concrete actions for the farmers of Uttarakhand, especially before the sowing season. The wishes are nice, but policies matter more.

Lohri, Sankranti, Pongal, Bihu... the beauty of India is in this diversity of festivals celebrating the same thing—a good harvest. Jai Kisaan! President Murmu's message about thanking our farmer annadata is the most important one.

The photos from the celebration look so vibrant! The dhol, the dancing... it captures the real spirit of the festival. As someone from outside, it's wonderful to learn about these rich traditions. Happy Lohri to all celebrating!

While it's a positive gesture, one must note that such public appearances during festivals are common for all politicians. The true test is governance throughout the year. That said, Baisakhi is next for our Punjabi brothers and sisters in Uttarakhand!

Festivals like these remind us of our agrarian roots. In today's fast life, we often forget the hard work of farmers who feed the nation. May this Lohri bring them a prosperous year ahead. Til gul ghya, god god bola! 😊
