India: Holi festival in district Prayagraj by Shashi Sharma
People from Hindu community fire the "Holika" on Sunday night to celebrate Holi festival in district Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Hiranyakashipu's sister, Holika, had a boon granting her immunity to fire. She attempted to trick Prahlad into a pyre, but divine intervention led to her demise while Prahlad emerged unscathed. This event symbolizes the victory of good over evil, a theme central to Holika Dahan.
