a cold winter night that warms as you play — rub the wood until the bonfire catches, toss rewri, moongphali, phulle, gajak and til into the flames for a wish each, beat the dhol until the dancers join in, and end on a phulkari banner with their name.
Create your own Happy LohriLovely's Lohri template begins on a freezing January night over the sarson fields: 'brr. it's freezing.' The recipient rubs back and forth across a stack of logs until the sparks catch and a bonfire roars up, and the whole page slowly warms from cold blue to orange. Next they feed the fire the way Lohri is done — dragging or tapping rewri, moongphali, phulle, gajak and til into the flames. Every offering makes the fire flare and shows one of your wishes.
Then comes the dhol. Every beat sends a 'balle balle!' or 'shava shava!' into the air, and as the beats pile up, your photos come in as dancers around the fire. It ends on a phulkari banner — the embroidered diamond pattern on dark khaddar — with their name, your message, ਲੋਹੜੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਲੱਖ ਲੱਖ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ and your sign-off, while the fire keeps burning below.
Every line, each offering's wish and the four dancer photos and captions are editable, and steppers set how many offerings go into the fire (3 to 5) and how many dancers join (2 to 4). Publishing costs ₹49 one-time; Lovely gives you a link and a QR code in about five minutes, and the recipient needs no account.

They rub a finger back and forth across the logs; the friction builds warmth until the bonfire catches. There is also a 'just strike a match' button for anyone who would rather tap.
Yes. The ending says ਲੋਹੜੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਲੱਖ ਲੱਖ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ in Gurmukhi, and like every other line you can edit it.
