Belgaum
Unique ritual: Holi revellers performing ‘Lotangan puja’ in Belgaum on Saturday. Belgaum: Holi was celebrated with great fanfare and enthusiasm in Belgaum on Saturday with people from all communities participating in the festivities. Men, women and children came out in groups, splashed colours and greeted each other and danced to the drumbeats. Rain and cloudy weather did not dampen their enthusiasm. In Pangul galli, a large number of revellers and devotees performed “Lotangan puja” (“urulu seve”) at Ashwathama temple. The festivities started on Friday night with the lighting of bonfires to signify the burning of demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashyapu. Pujas were also offered to Kamadev. Power supply was disrupted in several areas on Saturday owing to technical problems. However, the supply was restored in the evening.
