Origin and Significance of Holi Celebration / Spring Festival:
Holi is the most lively and colorful festival in India. And is a common Hindu religious festival. But now people from all around the world celebrate this day. Thus, it promotes fun, joy, and brotherhood among people.
In this vibrant festival, people enjoy it with the use of colors which adds brightness in the days of humans.
The main motto and theme of this festival ls “the victory of good over evil”.
In ancient times, Hiranyakashipu there was a devil, cruel and self-centered king. Thus, wanted to dominate over people. But his son Prahlada was against his wish. Therefore, the king planned to kill his son with the help of his sister Holika. As per his brother’s wish, she finally deceived Prahlada and sat on the pyre of fire by holding him on her lap.
But she had evil thoughts and intentions. Hence, she herself got burned alive in that fire and Prahlada was safe.
This is the reason why we celebrate this spring festival to bestow our respect to Prahlada and to burn all the evils beside.
