Holi is one of the most popular festivals of India. It is celebrated by each community with varying degrees of enthusiasm. People celebrate it as a two days festival; first day as Holika Dahan (purification process) and second day as colorful Holi.

The story behind Holi

There are various legends associated with Holi celebration.The ritual of Holika Dahan is done a night before the colorul holi with the logic of burning all their past year’s sins. Burning Holika belongs to the king Hiranyakashyap and his son Prahlad. The next morning, people celebrate colorful holi by playing colors with friends, family members and neighbours to show their happiness.

However, there is another mythology behind the coloured powder - or gulal - thrown during the festival, which come from the legend of Krishna, whose skin was dark blue and was worried that he wouldn't be accepted by his love Radha, so he mischievously coloured her face to make her like himself.
