Lohri, celebrated each year in the month of January, is a vibrant harvest festival marking the end of winter and the promise of longer, sunnier days ahead. Steeped in Punjabi culture, Lohri brings communities together to honour nature’s bounty, share warmth around the bonfire, and rejoice with music, dance, and festive treats. Traditionally observed a day before Makar Sankranti, Lohri holds deep cultural and spiritual significance, symbolizing gratitude for a good harvest and hope for abundance in the coming year.
