Lohri 2026: Date, Significance, and Cultural Traditions of North Indian Festival

Lohri will be celebrated on January 13, 2026, marking a vibrant winter festival in North India, particularly in Punjabi culture. Observed by Sikh and Hindu communities, it signifies the end of peak winter and the approach of longer days. The festival, also known as Lohadi or Lal Loi, is closely linked to Makar Sankranti, celebrating the winter harvest and the Sun's transition into Capricorn. Key traditions include bonfires where offerings like sesame seeds and jaggery are made, accompanied by traditional songs and dances.
