Holi is celebrated by Hindus as a symbol of the victory of truth over falsehood and mutual harmony and brotherhood. According to religious beliefs, this festival is celebrated in memory of the incident of Holika burning when devotees tried to burn Prahlad. With this message, Holi is celebrated by playing colors and playing with fire, while in some districts of the Far West, Phulauti Holi is celebrated in the traditional style.
