Product Information

The festival is celebrated by lighting bonfires, eating festive food, dancing and collecting gifts. In houses that have recently had a marriage or childbirth, Lohri celebrations will reach a higher pitch of excitement. Most North Indians usually have private Lohri celebrations, in their houses. Lohri rituals are performed, with the accompaniment of special Lohri songs. [34]

Lohri is synonymous with indulging in delicious treats, so why not share the joy with a gift of traditional sweets like gur rewri, gajak, or panni? You can also opt for a box of assorted dry fruits, which are not only tasty but also symbolise health and prosperity. A significant aspect of Lohri is the exchange of gifts, which symbolises love, warmth, and good wishes for the year ahead. Though it is a fact that with the changing time, the way of celebrating Lohri has also changed but the popularity, significance, and divinity of this “Festival of Harvest” is still intact and the same. That is why; it holds importance for newly married couples and couples who are about to have their first child. This process symbolizes a sort of “out with the bad, in with the good” ritual. Basically, the idea is to “burn the bad” and start fresh, so that new blessings can emerge. Again, it’s sort of akin to a New Year celebration in this way.The collections gathered by the children are known as Lohri and consist of til, gachchak, crystal sugar, gur (jaggery), moongphali (peanuts) and phuliya or popcorn. Lohri is then distributed at night during the festival. Till, peanuts, popcorn and other food items are also thrown into the fire. For some, throwing food into the fire represents the burning of the old year and start the next year on Makar Sankranti. As Lohri falls during the winter months, a warm and elegant shawl can be cherished by the recipient all winter. Consider choosing a colourful and intricately designed Pashmina or Kashmiri shawl to keep your loved ones snug and stylish! Lohri celebrations always take place January 13th, aka in mid-winter, to honor the winter solstice. Known traditionally as “The Harvest Festival” (because it takes place at the beginning of the harvest season in Northern India), Lohri is celebrated primarily in Punjab, and in regions like Jammu and the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
