Why is Lohri Celebrated?

Lohri festival has two folklore that states how this festival started. Let us delve into both one by one!

Last day of winter/Crop harvest:
The Rabi crop is harvested during the festive season of Lohri. This is the time of year when people express their gratitude to Lord Sun for his kind gifts that have enabled them to reap a bountiful harvest. The festival of Lohri has a significant social significance in addition to any particular religious significance. It is a day on which all community members are imbued with a sense of love and social belonging. On this day, people are freed from their regular tasks and get to spend happy moments with their loved ones. Everybody joins the social gathering on this specific day, and the social divide is closed. People go to each other's homes to say hello and celebrate life together.

In addition, the festival has a particular meaning about fertility and the harvest. Harvesting and the Lohri festival are very important because India is a country of farmers and Punjab is one of the most profitable states in terms of food grain production. Thus, the festival of Lohri represents harvesting, fertility, crop ripening, culture, legacy, and a feeling of community.

Dulla Bhatti:
“Sundar Mundariye ho” This folk song might have been heard by many of you during the Lohri celebrations. The elders of the house tell the legend of Dulha Bhatti and the two Punjabi girls, Sundari Mundari, which became connected to the festival. During the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar in the sixteenth century, the legend of Dulha Bhatti originated. He was a dacoit who would rob the wealthy and give food and cash to the underprivileged. He is credited with being a valiant warrior who championed the interests of common people and rose to prominence in Punjab. According to legend, Dulha Bhatti's bravery and resistance against the oppression of the Mughal emperors are celebrated on Lohri. Bonfires are lit, candy is exchanged, and traditional Punjabi folk songs and dances are performed in honor of Dulha Bhatti during the Lohri celebrations.
