As the winter chill begins to fade and we welcome the harvest season, two of India’s most beloved festivals—Lohri and Makar Sankranti—offer us an opportunity to gather, rejoice, and honour traditions. At Maharaja Farmers Market, we’re here to make your celebrations even more special by providing everything you need to celebrate these festivals in their full glory!
The Spirit of Lohri
Lohri, celebrated predominantly in Punjab and North India, is a festival that brings communities together. It marks the end of winter and the beginning of the harvest season. The highlight of Lohri is the evening bonfire, around which friends and families sing traditional songs, dance the bhangra and giddha, and enjoy festive treats like:
- Til ke laddoo (Sesame seed sweets)
- Rewri and Gajak
- Roasted peanuts and popcorn
At Maharaja Farmers Market, we’ve stocked up on all the essentials for Lohri—from jaggery (gur) to premium-quality sesame seeds and fresh ingredients for homemade sweets. Don’t forget to check out our collection of authentic Punjabi spices to add flavour to your festive dishes!
Makar Sankranti: A Festival of Kites and Traditions
Makar Sankranti is celebrated across India in various forms, symbolizing the sun’s transition into the zodiac sign of Capricorn (Makar). It’s a festival that blends tradition with fun, as people:
- Fly kites in states like Gujarat and Rajasthan.
- Enjoy delicacies such as tilgul, puran poli, and khichdi.
- Perform prayers to Surya (the Sun God) and make donations to the needy.
Whether you’re looking for fresh tilgul ladoos, premium rice and lentils for khichdi, or colourful kites to brighten the skies, Maharaja Farmers Market is your one-stop shop. We ensure you get authentic, high-quality products to make your Sankranti celebrations truly memorable.
