The Story of Holi and Why is Holi celebrated in short? (Mythological Story of Holi)

In India, Each festival has its own importance and religious beliefs of the people. There is a also story behind Holi Festival as well. There was a king named Hiranyakashyap, who considered himself to be the most powerful, so he hated the Devtas(Gods) and did not like to hear the name of Lord Vishnu who is the God of Devtas, but his son Prahlada was a passionate devotee of Lord Vishnu.

Hiranyakashyap did not like this thing, he used to scare his son in many ways and prevent him from worshiping Lord Vishnu, but Prahlada did not listen to one, he was in the devotion of his God. One day Hiranyakashyap decided to kill his son and he came up with a strategy.

According to which he asked his sister Holika (Holika had a boon, that she has victory over the fire, she cannot burn the fire) with Prahlada sitting on the fire. Prahlada sat on fire with his aunt and started chanting the name of his God. Then suddenly Holika started burning and Akashvani(voice from sky) started, according to which Holika was reminded that if she misuses her boon, then she herself will be burnt to ashes.

The fire did nothing with Prahlada but Holika was burnt. Similarly, people celebrated that day with joy, and today, that day is celebrated in the name of Holika Dahan, and the next day, they celebrate this day with colors.

Before eating any item made outside the house, think the danger of adulteration increases more in the festival.

Carefully paint one another, if someone does not want, do not force them. Fighting has also started increasing on festivals like Holi.
