Celebrating Lohri 2026 - Punjab's Festival of Harvest and Joy
Lohri is one of the most vibrant and joyous festivals celebrated in Punjab and northern India. Falling on January 13th, 2026, this harvest festival marks the end of winter and celebrates the arrival of longer days and the harvest season.

Bonfire Rituals - Communities gather around large bonfires in the evening, offering popcorn, peanuts, and rewari to the sacred fire
Traditional Foods - Families prepare special dishes including sarson da saag, makki di roti, gajak, and til ladoos
