Lala Lajpat Rai Punyatithi is observed every year on 17 November to commemorate the death anniversary of Lala Lajpat Rai, one of India's most prominent freedom fighters. Popularly known as the "Punjab Kesari" (Lion of Punjab), he was a leading figure in the Indian independence movement and was part of the famous Lal–Bal–Pal trio.
