Lohri

Lohri is a special festival celebrated in India, especially in the northern part. It happens every January 13th. People honor the end of winter and welcome longer days. Families and friends gather around a big bonfire outside. They sing happy songs, dance in circles, and throw foods like popcorn and nuts into the fire as a sign of sharing. The fire represents the sun, which is important for growing crops. Everyone enjoys sweets made of sesame seeds and jaggery. Lohri is a joyful time to be thankful for a good harvest and to have fun with loved ones.

How to celebrate Lohri?

Gather your family and friends in your backyard or a safe spot outdoors. Light a big, cozy bonfire in the evening. Dance around the flames while everyone laughs and claps to the rhythm of fun Punjabi music. Enjoy tasty snacks like popcorn, nuts, and sweet treats like gajak and rewri. Share these snacks with everyone and enjoy their crunchy flavors. Sing Lohri songs together to make the night special. Remember to wear warm clothes because it's a winter festival. It's a day to feel happy, grateful, and spend quality time with the people you love.
