Holi is one of the most vibrantly celebrated festivals of India, celebrated in almost every part of the country, and by Indians belonging to every faith and belief. It is also famous as the “festival of colors” as on this day people get together forgetting all resentments and any bad feeling towards each others and play with colors.

This Indian festival is celebrated on two main days on the Full Moon Day in the month of Falgun. It is celebrated with the name Holika Dahan or Choti Holi, when people light Holi fire and pray around it, next morning called Holi, people play with colors.  

This festival is based on the legend of Bhakt Prahlad who was a devotee of Lord Vishnu, much to the anguish of his father, the demon king Hrinyakashyap, who did not like to worship Lord Vishnu. He ordered his sister Holika to sit in fire and let Prahlad burn. Holika was blessed that she couldn't get burnt in fire, however Prahlad while sitting in her lap prayed to Lord Vishnu and got saved while Holika got burnt to death.

In many parts of India, this festival is celebrated in different ways, like Barsaane ki holi, Lathmaar Holi, Dhol Yatra etc.

This festival of love and friendship is very vibrant but we have to be careful when we celebrate it, like avoiding using artificial colors, using natural colors, taking care of pets and animals, and saving environment.
