Lohri is a popular winter Dogra and Punjabi folk festival celebrated primarily in Northern India.
It is believed by many that the festival marks the passing of the winter solstice. Lohri marks the end of winter, and is a traditional welcome of longer days and the sun's journey to the Northern Hemisphere. It is observed the night before Maghi.
