Lohri, a well-loved winter festival, holds deep cultural roots in the Dogra and Punjabi folk traditions, mainly celebrated in Northern India. The festival's significance and legends tie it to both the Duggar and Punjab regions, creating a rich tapestry of cultural connections. Many believe that Lohri marks the conclusion of the winter solstice, signifying the end of winter and welcoming longer days as the sun journeys to the Northern Hemisphere. This joyous celebration takes place on the night before Maghi and has become an official holiday in Punjab, Jammu, and Himachal Pradesh, while it is widely observed in Delhi and Haryana, though not a gazetted holiday.
