Celebrate Holi festival with Colors of Life

About Holi

Holi is a festival of Hindus celebrated in spring season. It is a celebration of joy and friendship. People enjoy with each other and forget about personal issues. Holi is a colorful festival which is a symbol of personal attachment. It is celebrated in two days; first day is called Holika Dahan which is a symbol of new crop and death of evil soul. People get together in a street compound and they burn Holi.

Why we celebrate Holi

Holika Dahan is related to a religious story of Prahlaad who was son of Hiranyakashyap. Prahlad believes in god but his father does not. So Hiranyakashyap tries to kill his son and he orders his sister Holika to sit in fire with Prahlad, but god saves Prahlad and Holika burns in fire. So fire is a symbol of Holika and people roast new crop in that fire.

About Dhulandi

The next day is known as Dhulandi, in which people spray colors on each other and wish for new things in life. They make sweet dishes and exchange gifts. Children get together in groups and dance in streets.

How to protect

The colors of Holi may leave harmful effect on your skin. Moisturize your skin with oil or lotion before playing Holi. Keep your nails protected by dark nail paint and also apply oil in your hairs. Use cold water to wash your face and protect your lips with petroleum jelly. It is a symbol of get-together and happy environment.
