Holi, the festival of colors, is one of the most vibrant and joyous celebrations in India.
The festival begins with Holika Dahan, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. It comes from the tale of Prahlad and Holika in Hindu mythology.
Prahlad, a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu, was saved from fire, while his evil aunt Holika was burned.
On the next day, people celebrate with colors, music, and joy, symbolizing the arrival of spring and spreading love and happiness.
The tradition of playing with colors is linked to Lord Krishna and Radha, where Krishna playfully smeared colors on Radha and her friends.
