Sindhi community in Rajasthan and Punjab celebrate on the night of January 13, the festival of Lal Loi which resembles the festival of Lohri of the Punjabis.
Earlier, I had written an article on Lal Loi for the Merinews portal as citizen journalist which has also found reference in Wikipedia[1] and Aimexhange[2] on the internet search engine of Google.
Here, I summarize the article as a sentence acrostic on LAL LOI
