🌾🔥 Happy Lohri 2026 – Bonfires, Harvest Joy & Solar Blessings! 🔥🌾
📅 Date: Tuesday, 13 January 2026 🗓 Lohri is a vibrant North Indian harvest festival celebrated with love, warmth and community spirit, especially in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and nearby regions. The festival marks the end of the coldest winter days and the joyful arrival of longer sunshine hours as we welcome the harvest season and Uttarayan (northward Sun). 🌞🔥 🔥 Heart of the Celebration: At the heart of Lohri is the bonfire 🔥 — a symbol of Agni (fire), warmth and purification. Families and neighbours gather around the flames at sunset, throw til (sesame seeds), gur (jaggery), peanuts, popcorn & rewri into the fire, expressing gratitude for nature’s bounty and praying for prosperity, health and abundance in the coming year. 🌽🥜🍿 Lohri nights come alive with Bhangra & Giddha dances, traditional folk songs and the joyous rhythm of dhol 🥁 as everyone celebrates together. The festival also honours legends like Dulla Bhatti, a Punjabi folk hero whose courage and kindness are remembered through songs sung around the fire. 💛🎤 Astrologically, Lohri holds deep meaning as it falls one day before Makar Sankranti — the sacred moment when the Sun moves into Capricorn (Makara Rashi) and begins its northward journey (Uttarayan). 🌞♑️ This transition is highly auspicious in Vedic astrology, symbolising growth, increased energy, new beginnings and the victory of light over darkness. Celebrating Lohri at this cosmic moment enhances positive vibes, fuels hope, and invites prosperity into life. ✨🌱 No Lohri is complete without til ladoos, gajak, sarson da saag, makki di roti, rewri and other winter treats shared with loved ones — nourishing the body and soul. 🍯🥘 It’s not just a festival — it’s a celebration of community, gratitude, warmth and fresh starts. Families also celebrate newborns’ first Lohri and newlywed couples, blessing them with joy, health and fortune. 👶💍 This Lohri, light a bonfire of gratitude, share sweets with friends and family, and tag someone you’re celebrating with! 💥🔥 ✨ Follow us for more festive stories, traditions & celebration ideas! 🎉 Lohri 2026 • Lohri festival bonfire • harvest festival India • Uttarayan celebration • Makar Sankranti eve • Punjabi folk traditions • Lohri rituals & significance • Punjabi harvest dances • gratitude fire offerings🔥
