Lohri, the most colourful and heartwarming festival across North India, especially in Punjab, heralds the end of the winter solstice. The festival that spreads radiance with long and warm days introduces the sun to its journey toward the north. Agrarian backgrounds strongly attach Lohri to being a day before Makar Sankranti and hold great cultural and spiritual importance.
In the year 2026, Lohri will fall on Tuesday, January 13. It is a festival of warmth, thanksgiving, and communion. Crackling bonfires, singing traditional folk songs, performing energetic folk dances, and exchanging festive treats mark the celebration of the harvest season and new life.
