Happy holi is celebrated across India . In the evening of purnima holika (made from wood logs ) symbolizing evil is burnt and prahlad (made of green twig) is taken out from the burning Holika just in time . The message was the victory of good over evil.
Saving Prahlad a green tree twig indicates protecting green trees and burning the old logs . This used to be one function for the city or mohalla or area . Nowadays Holi is burnt in every corner of the city roads. Jawaharnagar sector 1 and 2 have taken a decision to burn Holi together . This will save wood logs and promote unity and brother hood the ulimate message of this occasion.
However I feel sorry to see lots of good quality wood being burnt in the name of ceremoney.
How we can avoid cutting of woods ?
