Holi is celebrated every year in the month of Phalgun (March) with different types of colors with joy. Different types of dishes are prepared in every house. Holi is known to be a major festival of Hindus. Holi is celebrated with gaiety not only by Hindus but by people of all communities. People celebrate the festival of Holi by getting together, hugging and applying colors to each other. Religious and Phagun songs are also sung during this time. On this day, we eat specially made Gujiya, Papad, Halwa, etc. Holika Dahan is done a day before the Holi of colors.

There is an ancient history behind celebrating the festival of Holi. In ancient times there used to be an asura named Hiranyakashipu. He had an evil sister named Holika. Hiranyakashipu considered himself a god. Hiranyakashipu had a son named Prahlad. He was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. Hiranyakashipu was the opponent of Lord Vishnu. He greatly prevented Prahlad from worshiping Vishnu. But Prahlad did not listen to a single word of his. Angered by this, Hiranyakashipu tried to kill Prahlad. For this Hiranyakashipu sought help from his sister Holika. Because Holika had got the boon of not burning in the fire. After that Holika sat in the pyre with Prahlad but what could happen to the one who is blessed by Vishnu and Prahlad remained safe in the fire while Holika was burnt to ashes in that fire.

This story tells that good must triumph over evil. Even today, everyone burns a pile of wood, grass and cow dung by burning Holika Dahan and on the next day everyone plays Holi by pouring Gulal, Abir and different colors on each other. Holi is celebrated every year in the month of Falgun. As the festival of Holi approaches, our enthusiasm also increases.

People apply gulal of love and affection to each other, cultural programs are organized, folk songs are sung and make each other's face sweet.
