So Why Should We Celebrate Lohri? 

Lohri is the celebration of the arrival of longer days after the winter solstice. According to folklore, in ancient times Lohri was celebrated at the end of the traditional month when winter solstice occurs. It celebrates the days getting longer as the sun proceeds on its northward journey. The day after Lohri is celebrated as Maghi. 

Lohri is celebrated with a bonfire. The lighting of a bonfire during this winter festival is an ancient tradition. In Punjab, the harvest festival Lohri is marked by eating sheaves of roasted corn from the new harvest. The January sugarcane harvest is celebrated in the Lohri festival. Sugarcane products such as gurh and gachak are central to Lohri celebrations, as are nuts which are harvested in January. The other important food item of Lohri is radish which can be harvested between October and January. Mustard greens are cultivated mainly in the winter months because the crop is suitable to the agro-climatic conditions.  It is traditional to eat Gajak, Sarson da saag with Makki di Roti, radish, ground nuts, and gurh. It is also traditional to eat "til rice" which is made by mixing gurh, sesame seeds, and rice. In some places, this dish is called 'Tricholi.'
