Lori

Lohri, also known as Lohadi or Lal Loi, is mainly a Sikh festival that the Hindus also celebrate. Lohri is celebrated one day before the celebration of Makara Sankranti.

According to the Hindu calendar, it is celebrated by Punjabi people with utmost zest on the 14th of January every year in the month of Pausha or Magh. The Lohri festival is celebrated in the North Indian States of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu.

It is celebrated as the harvest festival when people light a bonfire, sing, and dance in joy. Lohadi marks the cultural celebration of the winter solstice. It also marks the sun’s journey to the northern hemisphere.

People deck up in colourful traditional attires and sing and dance around the bonfire to welcome the longer days after the winter solstice.
