[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was the first time i visited a holika burning, i was with my dad, brother and a friend our goal that night was to make pics.

For many people, Holi celebrates the death of Holika in order to save Prahlad and we see where Holi gets its name. The night before Holi pyres are burnt in North India in keeping with this tradition. It should also be noted that in some parts of India the day is actually called Holika. There are other activities associated with the story of Prahlad, but the burning of Holika is the one that we can most directly associate with Holi.
