About Holika Dahan

Holika Dahan is a significant part of Hindu rituals and customs. It’s the day when Holika, the evil aunt of a young Prahlad, was reduced to ashes by Lord Vishnu.

As per legend, Prahlad was a follower of Lord Vishnu, but his father Hiranyakashyap wanted everyone to worship him for his strength and power.

Prahlad’s devotion to Lord Vishnu was a displeasure to his father. Hiranyakashipu with his sister Holika planned to kill him. Holika had a magical cloak that made her immune to fire, and she tricked Prahlad into sitting with her in the flames in order to kill him.

Lord Vishnu came to Prahlad’s rescue and with his divine intervention, Prahlad was unharmed, and Holika turned into ashes.

Holika Dahan is observed to honour the win of good forces, devotion and pure love.

The Holi

People celebrate Holi with colours, water, gulaal, sweets and more. People play colour Holi whenever they want to start. The festivities start in the morning, as soon as people wake up and have their breakfast and they run around their friends smearing gulaal on everyone and drenching them with water.

Young children and even teens and young adults go around their colonies and apply gulaal on their friends and family.
