Holi will be celebrated countrywide on Thursday. (File photo)
Holi is all about colours and spending quality time with family and friends. However, for some of us who are not able to do so, a thoughtful message to a loved one can at once brighten up do wonders. Holi will be celebrated countrywide on Thursday and the ritual of Holika Dahan or burning the effigy Holika in the evening or late night will be performed on Wednesday. On Holika Dahan, holy bonfires are burnt on open spaces, signifying the victory of good over evil. The legend of Prahlad, Holika and Hiranyakashyap is associated with it. Roasted cereals are offered to the bonfire and people sing and dance around it. Devotees offer water, turmeric, coconut to the bonfire and seek blessings for a joyous life (the offerings may vary from region to region).
