Well first of all I would like to wish all my readers happy holi! Yay!! :P
I never knew why we celebrated holi untill my badi mum(grand mother) told me the reason for celebration. I want my readers to know it too. So, lets start!
In earlier times (when lord krishna was present) there was a king named Hiranyakashyup.
He got all the powers from gods and he started believing himself as a god. His empire used to worship him. He had a son named prahlad. His son was a true devotee of lord vishnu as a result, prahlad used to worship lord vishnu. This was not liked by his father and he asked him to sit on the pyre in the lap of Holika. Now, you must be wondering who is holika! Holika was hiranyakashyup's sister who cannot die because of the boon preventing her from being burnt by fire. When the fire started everyone got amused to see Holika burning to death. This salvation of prahlad and burning holika is celebrated as HOLI!
It is also celebrated for the divine love of krishna and radha. It brings season of love. What are you guys waiting for go and play HOOOLIIIIII! wooooppppiiieee
God bless you!
