About Lohri Festival
What is Lohri?
Lohri is a beloved Punjabi winter festival celebrated on January 13, marking the end of the coldest winter days. It is primarily a harvest festival dedicated to the Sun God and fire, celebrated with community bonfires, singing, and dancing.
Families gather around large bonfires, throwing rewri (sesame sweets), popcorn, peanuts, and gajak into the fire as offerings. Lohri is especially significant for newlywed couples and families with newborn babies.
