People celebrate Lohri to welcome longer days after winter, mark the end of the harvest season for Rabi crops, and celebrate new beginnings like marriages or newborns, all centered around a bonfire with songs, dancing, and festive foods like jaggery and sesame to thank the gods for abundance and prosperity.
