HOLI 2022: Holi, the two-day extravaganza full of colors, edibles and joy, is an important festival and celebrated with equal vigor across the country. The festival signifies the victory of good over evil. The Holika Dahan is the first day of the festival followed by the main event where people play with colors. This year, the Holi will be more special as the Covid-19 pandemic is slowly losing its grip, aligning with the importance of the festival.

Holi: History

Holi is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology and stems from the story of Hiranyakashyap, the demon king, and his pious son, Prahlad. The father-son duo represented good and evil, the two opposites of a human being. Prahlad was a worshiper of Vishnu, which irritated Hiranyakashyap.

He decided to burn Prahlad with the help of his sister, Holika, who was immune to fire. While Holika was in the fire with Prahlad, the fire did not affect Prahlad, but engulfed Holika in flames. Holi glorifies this victory of a worshiper of Vishnu over the evil Holika and Hiranyakashyap.
