The reason to celebrate this beautiful festival of colors is rooted deep in Hindu mythology, according to which Holi marks the victory of good over evil.

It originated from the tale of a demon king, Hiranyakashyap, and his pious son Prahlad, who was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. The father and son duo represent good and evil.

Hiranyakashyap was against his son worshiping lord Vishnu as he was the great hater of Lord Vishnu. Despite knowing the fact that his father was against Vishnu, Prahlad was adamant about his faith in the Lord.

Being furious, Hiranyakashyap decided to kill his son Prahlad by incineration, with the help of his sister Holika, who was immune to fire.

To do so, Holika sat on a pyre holding Prahlad on her lap, but by the grace of God, the fire even couldn’t touch Prahlad and instead, it engulfed Holika in flames.

To end Hiranyakashyap Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Narsingh (Humar Lion) as Hiranyakashyap was blessed with a divine power not to be killed by a human.

Hence Lord slew the demon king and suppressed his wrath by killing him. To mark the victory of Prahlad’s true devotion toward lord Vishnu and the Lord’s killing the demon, the festival is celebrated with joy and happiness.

Holi Significance & How to Celebrate

Holi has a lot of significance as it is celebrated by people around the world irrespective of their religious and cultural beliefs.

It connects people and lessens the divides between the communities. People come to each other’s places and smear color on each other.

Days before Holi, people collect huge piles of wood, and on the day prior to the main Holi, people light bonfires at their homes and crossroads around the cities.

The best part about the festival is, even if someone is a stranger to you, you can still celebrate it with them by applying colors on the face and no one on this day is gonna complain about that.

People make different kinds of sweet dishes at their homes and exchange these with their friends and family members.

The feasts are organized for relatives and close friends. Only love is spread in the festival and keeping all the differences aside, people enjoy this festival.
