Holi 17
That evening we ventured out
again, to one of the many ritualistic
burnings of an
effigy of the
Hindu demoness, Holika. The fact that
Holi celebrates the possing
of Winter into Summer appears to be
wholly coincidental with Holika's ritual
burning. (The pyre, by the way,
was always composed of dried disks of
cow manure, at least as far
as we could tell.)
