Lohri is a harvest festival that is celebrated with great pomp and fervour. It is a Punjabi festival that also commemorates agricultural prosperity. This festival marks the end of the winter as the days start to become longer than the nights. People on this day gather around a big crackling bonfire, singing and dancing as they throw groundnuts and popcorn at the blazing hot lohri bonfire. Lohri involves a lot of dancing with good music. Music plays a central role in making Lohri a vibrant and unforgettable celebration. Music creates an atmosphere of togetherness, whether with hit Bollywood songs or classical Punjabi folk songs.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Adrija Dey
Adrija Dey’s proclivity for observation fuels her storytelling instinct. As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
