Lohri in India

Is Lohri a Public Holiday?

Although Lohri is not a public holiday, businesses and schools may be closed because it falls on the same date as Makar Sankranti in 2023.

Holiday currently only shown for years 2019–2025.

Note: Individuals can take a limited number of restricted holidays but government offices and most businesses remain open. This system gives individuals the flexibility to take time off to celebrate a holiday within India's vast religious and cultural society.

While we diligently research and update our holiday dates, some of the information in the table above may be preliminary. If you find an error, please let us know.
