Lohri, a vibrant harvest festival celebrated on January 13 in North India, marks the end of winter and the arrival of the rabi harvest. The festival, observed a day before Makar Sankranti, involves lighting bonfires, singing folk songs, and offering gratitude with seasonal foods like sesame seeds and jaggery. Central to Lohri's narrative is the legend of Dulla Bhatti, a Punjabi hero. The bonfire symbolizes warmth, hope, and the burning away of the old, welcoming prosperity and new beginnings.
