The Sun shines on the Earth, tilting it towards the edges of the Tropic of Capricorn. During this time, the Earth starts its journey towards the Sun, which also marks the end of the freezing winter season. Thus, the Lohri festival marks the beginning of the spring season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Moreover, during the Lohri festival, the ritual is started only after sunset because it is the longest night of the year. Besides that, people celebrate the Lohri festival at the onset of the financial year. This is when all the farmers collect their income for the winter crops they have grown and taken care of.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 18pt;\">Lohri 2025: The Origin Of Lohri<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">There are numerous historical stories behind the celebration of Lohri that mark the beginning of the harvest festival. However, among those comes one of the most important stories after the Dulla Bhatti story: Holika and Lohri&#8217;s short story. Now, you might wonder how the festival of Lohri connects with Holika.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">The connection between the two lies in the fact that Holika and Lohri are sisters.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Harnakash ordered them to sit in the fire to hurt Prahlad. So, Holika took Pralhad and Lohri with her to sit in the fire. However, it turns out fate was with Prahlad. They burned Holika in the fire, but Prahlad and Lohri survived.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 18pt;\">Lohri 2025: Rituals &amp; Practices<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">The festival of Lohri involves simple rituals with a high symbolic meaning.
