Lohri is a very famous Indian Festival, which is a traditional winter festival, celebrated in North India, especially in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Delhi.

The origin of the festival can be traced back to the legend of Dulla Bhatti, a famous  hero of Punjab, who led a rebellion against Mughal emperor Akbar.

Lohri also marks the end of the winter solstice, when the days start to become longer than the nights. It is also a time when harvest of the rabi crops is celebrated.

One the day of Lohri, little children run between houses singing "Sundar Mundariye"  the tale of Dulla Bhatti, and ask for money which elders gladly pay as token of respect towards this legendary Hero

In the night, Lohri, is celebrated by lighting a bonfire, which is considered to be a symbol of fertility. People wear radiant clothes, socialize, sing and dance around the fire on various folksongs.

The highlight of Lohri is the products made from the January harvest, especially sugarcane. Things like Jaggery, gajjak, rewaries, chikki and popcorns.
