March 13 marks Holika Dahan, a significant Hindu festival celebrated on the eve of Holi. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil, inspired by the legend of Prahlad and Holika. People gather around bonfires, perform rituals, and pray for prosperity while burning away negativity. The fire represents the triumph of devotion and righteousness. This tradition brings communities together, setting the stage for the joyous festival of colours, Holi, the next day.
