Longer Lohri messages
Lohri always reminds me of standing around the fire with numb fingers and a fistful of rewri, listening to the elders sing. Nobody cared how cold it was because everyone was together. I hope this Lohri gives you a night like that, loud, warm and full of family.
WhatsAppDear Veerji and Bhabhi, congratulations on your little one's first Lohri. The whole family can't wait to sit around the fire, throw in the popcorn and sing for the newest member of the house. Save me a spot near the dhol.
WhatsAppTo our team: thank you for a year of steady work through every deadline. Tonight, step away from the screens, find a bonfire and enjoy the gajak. Happy Lohri from all of us.
WhatsAppHappy Lohri, my friend. As the fire takes the last of winter's chill, may it also take whatever weighed on you this year. Keep the warmth, the music and the people who make you laugh, and let the rest go up in smoke.

About Lohri
Lohri is a winter festival celebrated mainly in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Delhi, and by Punjabi families around the world. It falls a day before Makar Sankranti, in mid-January, and marks the end of the coldest part of winter and the harvest season, especially of sugarcane.
In the evening, families and neighbours gather around a large bonfire. People throw popcorn, peanuts, til and rewri into the fire, walk around it and sing traditional folk songs. Bhangra and gidda to the beat of the dhol keep the night going, and the meal often includes makki di roti and sarson da saag.
Lohri is especially big for families celebrating a newborn's first Lohri or a newlywed couple's first Lohri, when relatives are invited and sweets are shared generously. In many neighbourhoods children go door to door singing Lohri songs and collecting treats.
Tips for sending your wishes
- Send your wishes by late afternoon, as most families are busy around the bonfire once evening sets in.
- For a baby's or newlywed couple's first Lohri, address the wish to the whole family, since the celebration belongs to everyone.
- For Punjabi-speaking friends, close with 'Lohri diyan lakh lakh vadhaiyan' for a warm, familiar touch.
