The 2027 calendar

Lohri night in north Haryana
Lohri is strongest in the districts that border Punjab — Ambala, Yamunanagar, Panchkula and Kurukshetra. In the days before, children go door to door singing and collecting wood, rewari and money; at night the mohalla gathers around a single large fire, and the first Lohri of a new bride or a newborn gets the loudest dhol.
Sakrat morning
On Sakrat the bahu 'manaati hai' an elder of the family with a gift, and is blessed in return. Breakfast is khichdi with a spoon of desi ghee; til-gud laddu and blankets are given in daan. Brahma Sarovar in Kurukshetra fills with bathers at sunrise (07:20).
