About Lohri

13 January 2027

Lohri is a beloved North Indian winter celebration, especially in Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi. The communal bonfire—fed with offerings of sesame sweets and popcorn—marks gratitude for warmth as the year turns toward longer days. Songs of Dulha Bhatti and harvest joy fill courtyards; newlyweds and newborns are often specially blessed. Maghi follows the next day in many Punjabi calendars. On Madhuma you will find festival essentials for a respectful home welcome to the season—incense, diyas, and puja items—so Lohri feels festive and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers for shopping Lohri essentials.

Lohri is a Punjabi midwinter bonfire festival, typically on 13 January, celebrating warmth, community, and gratitude as the season turns toward Makar Sankranti.

Lohri is kept on the night before Makar Sankranti / Maghi. The bonfire marks winter’s turn; the next day continues harvest thanksgiving in many North Indian calendars.

Sesame sweets such as rewri and gajak, peanuts, popcorn, and sometimes sugarcane are offered to the fire and then shared among family and neighbours.

It is strongest in Punjab and neighbouring North Indian regions, but diaspora and urban communities across India also keep Lohri gatherings.

Follow local fire-safety rules, keep water or sand nearby, supervise children, or use a symbolic lamp and sweets if an open bonfire is not practical.

Lohri is primarily cultural and seasonal. You may leave deities empty, or attach Surya if your household links the night to Sankranti thanksgiving.
