Lohri greetings in Gurmukhi, Roman Punjabi, Hindi and English, including first-Lohri wishes for a baby or newlyweds.
The Lohri Wishes Generator writes greetings for 13 January in Gurmukhi Punjabi, Roman Punjabi, Hindi and English, sorted by occasion — family, friends, colleagues, a caption, and the two big ones, a baby's first Lohri and a couple's first Lohri after marriage. It also counts the days to the next 13 January from any date you enter, and reports the SMS part count for each message, since Gurmukhi and Devanagari are sent as UCS-2 at 70 characters per part instead of 160.

The same greeting in Gurmukhi and in Roman Punjabi, so it reads correctly for every generation in the family.
Separate message banks for a baby's first Lohri and a couple's first Lohri, the two occasions people actually search for.
Lohri sits on the solar calendar, so the tool can count exact days to 13 January from any reference date.
Lohri is observed on 13 January in almost every year, and it is the eve of Makar Sankranti, or Maghi, on 14 January. Because it follows the solar calendar rather than the lunar one, the date barely drifts, unlike most Hindu festivals.
In Punjabi households the first Lohri of a newborn and the first Lohri of a newly married couple are treated as milestone celebrations, with a larger gathering, gifts and sweets distributed to the extended family. Greetings for those two occasions are usually more elaborate than an ordinary Lohri wish.
Til (sesame), gur (jaggery), gajak, rewri, peanuts and popcorn are thrown into the fire and then shared as prasad, while people take a round of the bonfire. The offerings mark the end of the coldest part of winter and the rabi harvest of sugarcane and mustard.
It is primarily a regional winter harvest festival of Punjab, celebrated across Sikh, Hindu and other Punjabi communities, and is not a religious observance prescribed by any scripture. The traditional songs remember Dulla Bhatti, a 16th-century Punjabi folk hero, rather than a deity.
