People light a bonfire on this day, known as Holika, to represent the fable of
Prahlaad and his aunt Holika. The burning symbolizes the triumph of devotion
over evil as Holika kills her brother, Hiranya Kashipu.Holika Dahan's second
day is observed as Dhulandi. People begin the day by flinging colors at one another,
while children use water pistols and pichkaris to spray colors throughout the
homes. When people visit each other's homes, they bring a packet of Gulaal in
various colors, which they then apply to each other's faces to greet them.
Children take blessings from their parents and grandparents by touching their
feet.You will participate in the game using holi-colored powders (called gulal
in Hindi) made from cornflour and flowers. One of the main joys of this trip is
