a refreshing break from routine and nurture a sense of togetherness. This Lohri, why not bring the warmth of tradition into the workplace?

With its vibrant customs, Lohri is a perfect occasion to foster camaraderie and joy among colleagues. Let’s explore its cultural essence and discover creative ways to celebrate in the office.

The Story Behind Lohri

Celebrated on 13th January, Lohri is deeply rooted in the story of Dulla Bhatti, a legendary Punjabi hero known for his bravery and compassion.

During the Mughal Emperor Akbar’s reign, Dulla Bhatti emerged as a Robin Hood figure, rescuing young girls from being abducted and ensuring their dignity through arranged marriages and dowries. The festival of Lohri honors his benevolent deeds through folk songs, dances, and rituals.

Customs of Lohri:

• Bonfire Lighting-Symbolizing warmth, security, and the longer days after the winter solstice.
  

• Sharing  Sweets and  Rewri- Inspired by Dulla Bhatti’s generosity.
  

• Folk Songs and Dance- Expressing gratitude for his valor and spreading cheer.
