Holika Dahan, also known as Choti Holi, marks the triumph of good over evil. Celebrated on March 2, 2026, it commemorates Lord Vishnu saving Prahalad from Hiranyakashipu. The bonfire symbolizes burning negativity like ego and anger. Devotees also worship Kshetrapal for protection, often with homemade sweets and mustard oil lamps.
