PremiumHoli symbolises the victory of good over evil while serving as a reason to bring people together and enjoy the festival of colour.
The festival of colours, Holi, is here and the preparations are in full swing to celebrate the festival that brings everyone together. This year Holi will be celebrated on 8 March, while Choti Holi or Holika Dahan will be celebrated on 7 March and the ‘muhurat’ for Holika Dahan is between 6:24 pm to 8:51 pm.
History behind the festival:
According to Hindu mythology, the festival of Holi marks the victory of Lord Vishnu over the demon king Hiranyakashyapu. The story goes that Hiranyakashyapu ordered his son Prahlad to stop worshipping Lord Vishnu whom he considered his nemesis but Prahlad refused. Consequently, the demon king asked his sister to kill Prahlad. Holika took Prahalad in her lap and sat in a bonfire as she had immunity to fire. However, while the demon princess was burned alive, Prahlad survived due to the blessing of Lorn Vishnu.
