Holi

Holi is the most famous festival of colors for Hindu all across. It is observed on full moon day in the month of phalgun season according to Hindu lunisolar calendar. Celebration of Holi dates back to the mythological era, as the survival of Prahalad and burning of Holika. The belief of the festival is signified as the victory of good over evil and also marks the arrival of spring after the chilly winters. Holika was the devil sister of demon king Hiranyakashipu who wanted everyone to worship demonic Asuras. Holika sat on pyre with Prahalad to burn him in the fire. But she herself was burnt and Prahalad, the follower of Lord Vishnu was saved.

Holi is thus celebrated for two days, where on the even of Holi a bon fire is set up and everyone prays around with rituals and traditions; that signify the victory of our own good self over inner devils. People meet and greet, celebrate, rejoice and forgive the broken bonds, to mend them for happiness and good deeds
