Lohri is a popular Punjabi winter folk festival celebrated primarily by Sikhs and Hindus in the Punjab region of South Asia. It is observed every year on January 13th, marking the end of the winter solstice. Lohri is a festival that symbolizes the harvesting of the Rabi crops and the arrival of longer days after the winter solstice.
The festival is typically celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor. Bonfires are an integral part of Lohri celebrations. People gather around the bonfire, offer prayers, sing traditional folk songs (such as "Sunder Mundriye"), and perform folk dances like Bhangra and Gidda.
