According to folk lore, in ancient times Lohri was celebrated on winter solstice day.[20][21] It is for this reason that people believe the Lohri night is meant to be the longest night of the year and on the day after Lohri, day light is meant to increase. The day after Lohri is celebrated as Maghi Sangrand when the days are meant to start getting longer.[11][22] People believe nights gradually shorten "by the grain of one sesame seed" once the winter solstice passes.[23]
