Holika Dahan, also known as Holika Deepak or Choti Holi, is a Hindu festival that observes the ceremonial burning of the demoness Holika. Annually celebrated in March, the specific date is determined by the Indian lunar calendar. This symbolic ritual signifies the triumph of good over evil and serves as a precursor to the festival of Holi, which joyfully heralds the arrival of the spring season.
