KOCHI, MARCH 6. The North Indian communities living in the city today began celebrating Holi, the country's most colourful festival. Bonfires were lit at different places symbolising the burning of demoness Holika. The Holika fires also symbolise the victory of good over evil. The North Indian Association, the Kerala North Indian Cultural Association, the Maheswari Samaj, etc. were some of the groups that organised Holika burning celebrations in the city. Besides, various groups of North Indians at Mattancherry also celebrated the festival. The District Collector, Gyanesh Kumar, was the chief guest at the celebrations. He lit the Holika fire and sang a song or two. Dhuleti, the day after Holi, will be the actual festival of colours. All preparations have been made to celebrate Dhuleti here tomorrow, when people will cover themselves in a riot of colours.
