Sidhivinayak taimes Shimla। As the cold winter grips Himachal Pradesh, the hills come alive with the warmth and cheer of Lohri, one of North India’s most beloved winter festivals. Celebrated on January 13, Lohri marks the end of winter’s harshest days and the promise of longer, brighter sunshine. In districts like Kangra, Una, Hamirpur, Bilaspur, and Solan, families gather around glowing bonfires in courtyards and village squares, offering sesame seeds, jaggery, peanuts, and popcorn to the flames while praying for health, happiness, and prosperity. The festival is particularly joyous for households with newborns or newlyweds, who host neighbors and relatives in celebration.

Traditional folk songs in local dialects echo through the streets, and children move from home to home singing and receiving sweets in return. Unlike large-scale urban festivities, Himachali Lohri is intimate, rooted in agrarian customs and community togetherness, reflecting the region’s rich cultural heritage. Amid frost-covered landscapes, Lohri continues to bring warmth, hope, and a sense of shared joy to hill communities.
