Celebration of Holika dahan and its effect on Environment

Holi is one of the main festivals of Hindu religious beliefs. Holika dahan is celebrated as a symbolic representation of victory of good over evil. Many green trees are being burnt each year not only to destroy greenery but also to add up the pollution levels. In past this festival was not so vast but with increase in population and numerous human settlement in urban area is really problematic.
Urban areas in India are already suffering from scarcity of green spaces and such festivals add up to the problem.
We should limit the number of Holika in each area and should not cut green vegetation for this purpose. Our great religion always advocates of conserving the nature, but with the changing scenario in the urban areas we are following some of the things blindly and will pay for it in future.
