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.

History behind the Lohri celebration

People loved him and respected him, and began to sing the folk song "Sundar-Mundriye" every year on the occasion of Lohri.
