Where to Buy Lohri Outfits in Los Angeles & Orange County

There's one stretch of Pioneer Blvd in Artesia where the Lohri shopping happens every January — the block where the Punjabi music spills out of the sweet shops, the bonfire-night outfits are already on the mannequins, and nobody is waiting on a shipping carrier to decide whether their outfit arrives before the party. If you're looking for a Lohri outfit in Los Angeles or Orange County, this is the shortcut: come try it on in person.

Lohri falls on Wednesday, January 13, 2027 this year. Here's what to wear, what it costs, and where to find it without ordering blind online.

What Is Lohri?

Lohri is the Punjabi winter harvest festival — a bonfire night. Families and friends gather around the fire after sunset, toss in popcorn, peanuts, and rewri (sesame sweets), sing folk songs, and celebrate the longer days coming back. For a lot of Punjabi and Sikh families in LA and Orange County, it's one of the biggest get-togethers of the winter: new couples get celebrated, newborns get welcomed, and everyone dresses up.

It's an outdoor night in January, so the dress code is festive and warm — rich colors, heavier fabrics, and silhouettes with some drama.

What to Wear to Lohri

The classic Lohri palette is firelight colors: red, orange, mustard yellow, and deep green — the colors that look best around a bonfire. In terms of silhouette, three styles do most of the work:

• Shararas — the wide-legged, flowy pantsuit. Dressy, comfortable, and made for a night you're on your feet.
• Punjabi suits — the straight kurta with salwar or palazzo pants and a dupatta. The everyday-festive workhorse.
• Anarkalis — the long, flared frock-style kurta. Maximum twirl, very forgiving fit.

All three are in the store right now, on the mannequins below — exactly as you'd see them if you walked in.

Shararas — Around $300

Our sharara sets run around $300: embroidered kurta, wide sharara pants, and a matching dupatta. Two of the current pieces:

Dusty rose sharara with gold embroidery — around $300.

Turquoise sharara with gold and pink embroidery — around $300.

Shararas are the easiest Lohri pick if you want to look dressed-up without thinking about it: one set, done, and the wide pants keep you comfortable through a long night by the fire.

Punjabi Suits — Around $200

The Punjabi suit is what most women actually wear to Lohri — festive enough for the bonfire, comfortable enough for the whole evening. The embroidered sets below run around $200:

Rust orange with gold embroidery — a bonfire-night color if there ever was one.

Deep purple with gold work and a sheer dupatta.

Magenta with all-over gold embroidery.

Blush pink with a contrast sage-green dupatta.

Dark green with gold vertical embroidery — rich against firelight.

Dark green in a heavier velvet-look fabric — built for a January night.

Anarkalis — Around $200

If you want the twirl, get the anarkali. The long flared cut looks dramatic in every bonfire photo and fits a wide range of body types without tailoring — around $200:

Red anarkali with gold geometric embroidery.

Bright yellow with silver embroidery — mustard and yellow are classic Lohri colors.

Mustard with silver work at the neckline and hem.

What About Men?

Men usually keep it simple for Lohri: a kurta-pajama in a festive color, sometimes with a Nehru jacket if it's a bigger party. We carry menswear in the store too — our men's guide covers the options — so couples can sort both outfits in one trip.

What should a woman wear to a Lohri party?

A sharara, an embroidered Punjabi suit, or an anarkali in a festive color — red, orange, mustard yellow, or green. It's a January night outdoors, so heavier fabrics like velvet-look pieces are a smart pick.

A kurta-pajama in a festive color; add a Nehru jacket for a dressier party.

Can I buy a Lohri outfit last-minute in Los Angeles?

Yes — that's the whole point of shopping in person. Come to our Artesia store on Pioneer Blvd, try it on, and take it home the same day instead of gambling on delivery before January 13.
