People from Hindu community fire the "Holika" on Sunday night to celebrate Holi festival in district Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Hiranyakashipu's sister, Holika, had a boon granting her immunity to fire. She attempted to trick Prahlad into a pyre, but divine intervention led to her demise while Prahlad emerged unscathed. This event symbolizes the victory of good over evil, a theme central to Holika Dahan. (Photo by Shashi Sharma/Pacific Press)
