History of holika dahan
Holi has arrived, and we can’t help but be excited. The much awaited festival is greeted with great enthusiasm all around the country. Holika Dahan, also known as Choti Holi, is an important part of this festival. The statue of a mythological demon named Holika is burned in this ancient ritual. It is a significant rite that takes place before Holi. According to the Hindu calendar, it is observed on the full moon night of the Phalgun month. It’s a manner of honouring Lord Vishnu’s victory against Holika, according to legend.
