Lohri is traditionally observed on the night before the end of the Paush month, the day before Makar Sankranti, when the Sun starts moving northward (Uttarayan). This movement of planets indicates a shift towards positivity and light.
Why Is Lohri Celebrated?
Cultural Significance
Having its roots in Punjab and now celebrated throughout North India, Lohri is linked with:
- Harvesting the Rabi crop, particularly sugarcane
- Festival of new beginnings, weddings, and childbirth
- Worship of Agni Dev (fire god) and Surya Dev (Sun God)
It’s also a celebration that brings communities together with music, food, and dance, specifically the old Bhangra and Gidda.
The Story of Dulla Bhatti
Lohri mythology commemorates the story of Dulla Bhatti, a local folk hero who saved girls from being sold into slavery during the Mughal period. Songs sung at the Lohri fire pay tribute to his courage, representing the guarding of dharma and dignity.
Astrological Significance of Lohri 2025
Sun’s Entry into Capricorn (Makar Rashi)
While Makar Sankranti technically signifies this year’s entry, Lohri is the cusp energy point—a bodily, mental, and spiritual preparation to shift gears. It signals winter’s waning darkness and the onset of Uttarayan, when the Sun begins to travel towards the northern hemisphere.
This astrological change is believed to be extremely auspicious for:
- Spiritual practices
- Career shifts
- Health makeovers
- Association with Fire Element (Agni Tattva)
- Vedic astrology places heavy significance on Agni, the fire aspect. It rules:
- Willpower and physical and karmic digestion
- Transformation of energy
Purification of doshas
Lighting the Lohri bonfire is, therefore, symbolic but also a sacred act of letting go of past baggage and creating new intentions.
