Quick answer
Lohri is on 13 January 2027. For a Lohri party, wear bright, warm Punjabi-style colours – red, orange, mustard, magenta, royal blue – in a velvet Anarkali or a kurta set with a bright dupatta. Lohri is celebrated around a bonfire, often outdoors in winter, so choose warm fabric, avoid long trailing synthetic dupattas near the fire, and carry a shawl. Order by 28 December to receive it in time.

Bonfire safety and warmth
- Fabric near fire: velvet and cotton are safer choices than thin synthetic chiffon near the bonfire.
- Pin your dupatta across the body so it cannot trail into the fire.
- Thermal leggings under palazzos or pants keep you warm outdoors.
- A pashmina or wool shawl looks traditional and keeps you comfortable after sunset.
- Closed shoes or ankle boots if the celebration is in a garden or parking lot.
First Lohri (new bride or new baby)
If it is a family's first Lohri after a wedding or a birth, the celebration is bigger. Guests dress more festively – this is a good moment for your best velvet or gota-work Anarkali. See also our Punjabi wedding guest guide for colour ideas.
