Puranpoli This is a very popular dessert created during the Hindu festival of Holi. Holi is the last day of the Hindu calendar. On the eve of this festival a huge wood pyre is made and set afire. Discarded or unwanted materials like dead wood of trees, broken pieces of furniture etc. are also put in the fire. This symbolises the destruction of one's ill feelings and/or animosities towards others. The next day the Holi Festival is celebrated by playing with colours in the morning with friends and neighbours getting together. In the evening visits are made to friends and relatives when sweets are offered and good wishes extended to one another.
