Lohri also known as Lohadi or Lal Loi is a festival that marks the harvest season in Punjab. Lohri falls on January 13 of each year, one day before Makar Sankranti which is another popular Hindu holiday that falls between January 14-15 every year. Lohri marks the end of the winter season and the start of the longer days. Lohri is celebrated to welcome the sun to the northern hemisphere. However, it is traditionally associated with harvesting rabi crops.

History behind the Lohri celebration

There are many stories associated with Lohri, but the most popular folklore associated with Lohri is that of the legend Dulla Bhatti. Dulla Bhatti was a man who had lived in Punjab during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar. Like Robin Hood, Dulla Bhatti used to rob the rich and help the needy and poors. He even saved a girl from the kidnappers and took care of her like his daughter. On her wedding day, he even performed the rituals in the absence of a priest. People loved him and respected him, and began to sing the folk song "Sundar-Mundriye" every year on the occasion of Lohri. This is just one story, but we are sure you will find many more interesting stories associated with this festival!

There are many customs and rituals associated with Lohri; On this day, people gather around the bonfire and offer fire oblations as a way of thanking God. They offer sesame seeds, jaggery, rewari, popcorn, corn seeds as prasad by putting it in the fire while going around the bonfire. They also pray for good health and prosperity.
