An effigy of Mohammed Ajmal Kasab is pictured ahead of the Holi festival, or the "Festival of Colours", in Mumbai March 9, 2009. Kasab is the lone surviving member of the 10-man group which attacked several Mumbai landmarks last year. The effigy of Kasab will be burnt as part of the Holika Dahan festival on late Tuesday night, when people will light bonfires with old wood, sticks, branches and leaves, as one of the most important ceremonies during the Holi festival, which symbolises the victory of good over evil.
