25 ft Holika Dahan - Jamnagar

Jamnagar's Bhoi community had created a record 25 ft Holika statue, weighing almost a thousand kilo.

Though Jamnagar is famous for numerous Holi ritual bonfires, this year the number of bonfire is around 200 in the city. In India there is ban on burning effigies, but special permission is given for Holika Dahan since 1961.
