💨 Abstract

In Barsi, a village in Uttar Pradesh, residents have not performed Holika Dahan for centuries due to a local belief that Lord Shiva resides in the village and lighting the Holika fire could harm him. This tradition has been passed down for generations and the villagers travel to nearby villages to participate in Holika Dahan while celebrating Holi in their own village.
