The memory of Bhatti as a saviour of Punjabi girls is recalled at the annual Lohri celebrations in the region to this day, although those celebrations also incorporate many other symbolic strands. The song "Sundri-Mundri" is sung during the celebrations and is a tribute to him. Among the significant modern literature inspired by the life is "Takht-e-Lahore", a 1973 play written by Najam Hussein Syed. A novel based on the life of Dulla Bhatti has been written by Baldev Singh Sadaknama.
