WishesLohri and Baisakhi wishes
Lohri is the bonfire, the rewri and the dhol in the cold of January. Baisakhi is the harvest and the Khalsa's founding day in April. These wishes are for both.
Lohri
Happy Lohri! May the bonfire take away the cold and every old worry with it.
Wishing you a warm Lohri with rewri, peanuts and the people you love around the fire.
Happy first Lohri to the little one! May the family's joy grow with every year.
Happy first Lohri to the new couple. May your life together be as warm as tonight's fire.
Happy Lohri to you and your family. Dance to the dhol, and eat the gajak before it is gone.
Baisakhi
Happy Baisakhi! May your year be as full as the fields at harvest.
Wishing you a joyful Baisakhi. May hard work always bring a good harvest to your home.
Happy Baisakhi to you and your family. May the new season bring health and plenty.

ਲੋਹੜੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਲੱਖ ਲੱਖ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ! ਧੂਣੀ ਦੀ ਅੱਗ ਵਾਂਗ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਘਰ ਨਿੱਘ ਬਣਿਆ ਰਹੇ।
ਰਿਉੜੀਆਂ, ਮੂੰਗਫਲੀ ਤੇ ਢੋਲ ਦੀ ਥਾਪ। ਸਾਰੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਲੋਹੜੀ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ!
ਨਵੇਂ ਜੰਮੇ ਬੱਚੇ ਦੀ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਲੋਹੜੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ।
ਨਵੀਂ ਵਿਆਹੀ ਜੋੜੀ ਨੂੰ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਲੋਹੜੀ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ। ਘਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਦਾ ਖੁਸ਼ੀਆਂ ਖੇੜੇ ਰਹਿਣ।
ਵਿਸਾਖੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਆਪ ਸਭ ਨੂੰ ਲੱਖ ਲੱਖ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ। ਖੇਤ ਹਰੇ ਭਰੇ ਰਹਿਣ ਤੇ ਘਰ ਭਰੇ ਭਕੁੰਨੇ।
ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਸਾਜਨਾ ਦਿਵਸ ਅਤੇ ਵਿਸਾਖੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਮੁਬਾਰਕਾਂ। ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਚੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਕਲਾ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ੇ।

Two festivals of Punjab
Lohri falls on 13 January, in the depth of winter. Families and neighbours gather round a bonfire, offer rewri, peanuts, gachak and popcorn to the fire, sing and dance. A baby's or a new bride's first Lohri is celebrated with special joy, and many families now mark a daughter's first Lohri just as proudly. Baisakhi, on 13 or 14 April, is the harvest festival of the wheat, and for Sikhs the day on which Guru Gobind Singh Ji founded the Khalsa in 1699.
Make it yours
- For Lohri: name the house where the fire is lit, and who will be singing loudest.
- For a first Lohri: say whose it is. "Happy first Lohri to little Gurnoor."
- For Baisakhi: for farming families, a wish for the harvest. For Sikh friends, greetings on Khalsa Sajna Diwas.
- For Punjabis abroad: mention home. No bonfire in a foreign backyard is quite the same.
The right words
"Lohri diyan lakh lakh vadhaiyan" and "Vaisakhi diyan lakh lakh vadhaiyan" are the customary greetings, and to elders they mean most written in Gurmukhi, as on this page. On Baisakhi, greetings for Khalsa Sajna Diwas are respectful for Sikh families.
Neighbouring festivals
The day after Lohri is Maghi in Punjab, and Makar Sankranti across much of India, with Pongal in Tamil Nadu. Wishes for those are on our Makar Sankranti and Pongal page.
Make it yours
- For a first Lohri in the family (a new bride or a new baby), say so in the wish. It is the heart of the celebration.
- Punjabi wishes mean most when sent in Gurmukhi to elders.
