Lohri, celebrated this year on Monday, January 13, marks the end of winter and the beginning of the harvest season in India, particularly in the northern states like Punjab and Haryana. The festival has cultural and agricultural significance, with people expressing their gratitude for a bountiful harvest and welcoming longer days after the winter solstice. Traditionally associated with the harvest of rabi crops, Lohri is a festival that symbolizes love, warmth, and family.
The festivities typically revolve around a large bonfire. People gather around in the evening with their festive outfits. They offer sesame seeds, jaggery, sugarcane, and roasted peanuts as part of the ritual. These offerings are symbolic gestures of thanks to nature and the Sun God for ensuring a good harvest. The Sun God is also revered because, in olden times, people used to believe that if they pleased Him, the Sun God would shine His warmth on them, protecting the village from extreme cold winters. So, traditionally, a few days ago maidens go from house to house and ask for cow dung, which they pile up for the main day. The collected cow dung along with wood is then burned in the evening of Lohri.

The evening is lit up with folk songs and energetic folk dances, like Banghra or gidda. Dhol is also a central aspect of the celebrations. The fire itself signifies the sun’s warmth and light, driving away the cold and ushering in brighter days.

Lohri traditions are steeped in storytelling, with many families sharing tales of folklore and legends, such as the popular story of Dulla Bhatti, a Punjabi hero. As per legends, Dulla Bhatti, lived during the Mughal era and is celebrated for his bravery and sense of justice. He protected local girls from being abducted and arranged their marriages, providing them with dowries and ensuring their safety. The popular Lohri song “Sundar Mundriye” tells his deeds, particularly the story of two girls, Sundari and Mundari, whom he saved from a forced marriage. This tale is shared around the bonfire, highlighting themes of courage, honour, and community.
The festivities are a significant event in the lives of newly married couples and newborn babies, as it symbolizes the start of a prosperous chapter in their lives. Families often host gatherings and exchange gifts to share in the joy of the occasion.

One of the most important parts of an Indian festival is the food. Lohri is made much more memorable with delicacies like Makki di roti (cornmeal flatbread) and sarson da saag (mustard greens curry). Sweets like gajak, til laddoo (sesame seed sweets), and jaggery-based treats are relished, along with roasted peanuts and popcorn. The simple yet wholesome food that is consumed during Lohri, symbolizes the deep festival’s connection to agriculture. A festival never feels the same without family and friends, this Lohri send them wishes and greetings to tell them that you are thinking of them.
