Nepali revelers worship the sacred bamboo pole, Chir, as it lies on Basantapur Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 7, 2025. The bamboo, which is 32 feet long and six inches thick, is suitable to be erected as Chir with pieces of cloth tied on its three layers of umbrella-like structure, symbolizing Nepali gods and goddesses. The tradition of erecting the Chir is believed to have its historical roots in the story of Prahlad from the medieval period. Prahlad's aunt, Holika, sits on fire with Prahlad on her lap to kill him, but she gets burned instead, leaving Prahlad unaffected. This story is related to the erection of Chir as its symbol. To mark the death of Holika, who had the boon to remain unaffected by fire but gets burned down, and to celebrate the victory of godliness over devil forces, Holi is believed to have started, and the burning of Chir is based on this tradition.
