Holika Dahan.. the night before the festival of colors begins in my neighborhood in Ahmedabad. Celebrated both in India and Nepal. People circumambulate the fire which is lit. Quite similar to Navroze on 21st March, a holiday marking the Persian New Year to welcome the spring equinox Holika represents the triumph of virtue over vice, symbolizing the victory of righteousness over evil. It's a ritualistic bonfire where negativity and malevolence are symbolically burnt away, signifying the eradication of darkness and the onset of light and positivity. People gather around the fire to cleanse themselves of negative energies and seek blessings for prosperity, joy, and protection from malevolent forces. With best wishes from Soni, Bindiya & Mahesh
