On January 13, 2026, North Indians celebrate Lohri, a popular harvest festival that signals the end of winter and the start of longer days. In Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi, it is particularly important. To celebrate wealth, warmth, and fresh starts, people congregate around bonfires, offer sesame seeds, jaggery, and peanuts, sing traditional songs, and dance Bhangra and Gidda.

Startups increase their visibility during a highly sentimental holiday season and make their communication more approachable by adhering to local customs.
