Overview
Holika Dahan Puja for families in Sarnath
Holika Dahan is lit on the evening of Phalguna Purnima, the night before the colours of Holi. It remembers the story of Prahlad, the young devotee of Lord Vishnu, who was saved from the fire while Holika, who tried to harm him, was burned. The bonfire stands for the victory of devotion and goodness.
Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.
