Holi

It is known to all that Holi is the festival of colours. Thanks to the Indians now it is known all over the world. It is a festival which takes place when the cold bite of the winter gets removed and the rhythm of the nature resumes again, the green twigs come out of the trees, the flowers bloom everywhere – a perfect backdrop for the festival of colours. It’s not just a festival of colours; it also spreads joy in the atmosphere. Everything starts anew.

According to Hindu mythology, when the demon sister, Holika of King Hiranyakashyap was burnt the ashes of her body became the colours by the grace of lord Vishnu and was returned to world with happiness. It is also a philosophical way of the mythology to state that with the end of the evil in our hearts and the remains of it is the key to boundless joy and love. It also signifies the coming round of the nature from the claws of winter. When the festival itself has such a great setup the festival is bound to be the most beautiful of the year.
