Have you seen that objects beyond and above a holi fire appear to be shaking? Why does this happen?

Short Answer

Solution

The air above and below a holi fire is constantly changing in temperature. As a result, air density also varies continuously. As a result, the light beams that are coming toward us from the objects above and beyond the holy fire are constantly changing in direction. As a result, such items seem to be shaking.
