In India, the festive month of January is marked by colorful celebrations of Harvest Festivals under various names, including Lohri, Makar Sankranti, Uttarayan, and Pongal. These festivals hold a significant place in Indian culture as they honor the agricultural cycle and pay respect to the country's farming community. Celebrated with bonfires, traditional dishes, and dancing, Lohri is observed primarily in the northern regions of India and marks the end of winter, welcoming in longer days and a warmer season.
