The Punjabi festival of Lohri falls in the chilly month of January. It is celebrated in many Indian states. It also has an interesting backstory that not everyone is aware of.

The festival's origins can be traced back to the narrative of Dulla Bhatti, a famous legendary hero of Punjab who led a rebellion against Mughal emperor Akbar. He became a hero for the people of Punjab as a result of his valiant acts, and practically every Lohri song contains words of thanks to him.
