Lohri 2026 is almost here and you can already imagine it, right? The crackling campfires, the smoky winter air, someone passing around peanuts in those crumpled paper bags, and the dhol playing in the background like it has no intention of calming down. You could dance, you could just watch everyone else – either way, you feel it. And of course in Punjab and North India this is a big deal, and yes, it means winter is easing. But Lohri is not just a date circled on the calendar. They are people who stand up for each other. Family, friends, and that one neighbor who brings snacks for everyone and then complains about the smoke—all huddle around a fire that somehow warms the chest as much as the hands.The roots of the festival lie in the harvest – sugarcane, wheat, all the hard work finally paying off. Farmers say thank you in their own way. But you don’t have to be near a farm to get it. It’s the shared feeling of, “Okay, this year has been tough in some places, but we’re still here.” The campfire becomes the focus of the night. People circle around it, throwing rewri, popcorn, til and gur, murmuring a prayer and then immediately breaking into songs and silly chatter. Half the stories are exaggerated. It doesn’t bother anyone.
And Lohri always carries his stories with him. Songs about Dulha Bhatti are played, sometimes beautifully, sometimes completely wrong, and everyone still joins in. Children go door to door and somehow manage to collect more candy than they can carry. A new baby or a newlywed couple in the house? The celebration just increases by itself. Neubeginnen and Lohri get along really well.And honestly, the food has its own fan base. Sarson da saag, makki di roti, gajak, peanuts, gur, it’s the kind of comfort that makes winter seem friendly for a change. The rest of the year rushes by like a train, but Lohri slows everything down a bit. You sit by the fire, say random things, laugh louder than you wanted to, and forget to look at your phone for a while.So Lohri 2026 is not just coming “soon”.
