Interesting facts about the Holi Festival
Holi celebrates the arrival of spring and the end of winter. Also, the blossoming of love, and for many it’s a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget, forgive, and repair broken relationships. It also represents the triumph of good over evil.
- People spend the day smearing coloured powder all over each other’s faces, throwing coloured water at each other, having parties, and dancing under water sprinklers.
- Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with Holika Dahan, where people perform rituals in front of a bonfire, praying for their inner evil to be destroyed, just as Holika was killed in the fire.
- The carnival of colours begins the next morning, where people come out on the streets to play with colours, and drench each other in coloured water through water guns or balloons.
Holika was a demoness in Hindu Vedic scriptures, who was burnt to death with the help of the God Vishnu. She was the sister of King Hiranyakashipu and aunt of Prahlad. The story of Holika Dahan (Holika’s death) signifies the triumph of good over evil.
