Year after year
purity of fire
is challenged by evil,
appeased with offerings
A full moon looks on
as winds stoke embers
flare flames to a flickering dance
Right in the center
of crimson blaze
sits Holika Prahlad in her lap-her arms a circle of heat
White sparks fly from her hair
eyes smolder in fury;her mouth sucks in air,
engulfs rice and wheat
Wood chars,
coconuts splinter,
flowers singe
smearing earth with ash.
Year after year
faith survives.
Holika bur to Death.

Holika burns amidst merriment and mirth.
Evil overpowered by love and devotion.
A festival to commemorate 'Ras Lila'-
an enduring love saga of Radha and Krishna.
