Holi is being observed in Mithila today. It is the last day of Mithila circumambulation. Holi is also called Hori, or Fagu. Hori is celebrated after the Holika icon is brunt and ashes blown away from the pyre. Holika is a demoness.
Holi is celebrated based on the lunar calendar, circumambulation, and the Mithila culture. However, the Holi will be observed tomorrow as well because Tuesday is still not that auspicious. So, the celebration will continue tomorrow. Similarly, Maithili pandit from Bardibas-2, Mahesh Kumar Jha, viewed Purnima tithi still remains for today.
Bachchhulal Mahato from Pashupatinagar of Bardibas-9, said, "Although Tuesday is regarded as a good day for initiation of any work, why to share happiness and embrace each other with merriment on Tuesday?" With this, he suggests it is better to observe Holi tomorrow. Jaleshwor, Ramgopalpur, and Balbas areas in Mahottari are preparing to celebrate the Holi festival on Wednesday.
