Festive Getaways at The Leela Palace Jaipur: Celebrate Lohri and Makar Sankranti in royal style

As the new year arrives, auspicious festivals such as Makar Sankranti, Lohri, and Pongal illuminate the environment with hope and positivity. In 2025, the dual festivities will be experienced one day after the other, with Lohri on the 13th January followed by Makar Sankranti on the 14th January. Lohri is a popular harvest festival in the states of Haryana and Punjab. It is celebrated in full swing with majestic bonfires, folk melodies, traditional vibrant clothing, and rituals for a fruitful agricultural year.

The joyful festival of Makar Sankranti is celebrated with kite flying, followed by sacred rituals and preparation of traditional sweets, ideal for Winters. Gujarat and Rajasthan prominently observe the kite-flying tradition in the country. Overall, starting the new year with these propitious festivals begins a period of new beginnings.
