Lohri is an important harvest festival of Punjab and Haryana, marking the end of winter solstice and signifying new beginnings. The festival welcomes arrival of warmer days as sun begins its northward journey around this time; people express gratitude to mother nature and Lord Surya for abundance and prosperity on this day. Celebrated a day before Makar Sankranti every year, this time Lohri is being celebrated on January 14 instead of January 13, its usual date. It is customary to light a bonfire and engage in activities like singing, dancing, and storytelling. The legend of Dulha Bhatti and Sundari Mundari is reminisced in form of folk songs, and gripping narrations, and gratitude is expressed towards the Punjab’s heroic figure.
