Holi :The Festival Of Colours.

GEETMar 14 2022

Hellllllo everyone I am Geet Mani and I am back with my new blog. You all would be celebrating the festival of colours HOLI but do you know why do we celebrate Holi? No Problem, in this blog I will tell why do we celebrate Holi.

Holi gets its name from Holika, demon king Hiranyakashyap’s sister. Hiranyakashyap had got a boon from Lord Vishnu that he would not be killed by man or animal, at day or night, inside or outside, above or on the ground.

So Hiranyakashyap said that only he should be worshipped, not God. His own son, Prahlad continued to worship Lord Vishnu. This made his father angry. He asked Prahlad to jump from a mountain, but he remained unhurt.

Even when Hiranyakashyap made Prahlad jump in a well, he was unharmed.

Hiranyakashyap tried to poison Prahlad. The poison turned to nectar in Prahlad’s mouth.

Then, Hiranyakashya ordered that wild elephants should trample Prahlad, but he was not hurt.

Next, Prahlad was put in a room with poisonous, angry snakes, but still nothing happened to him.

Finally, Hollka made Prahlad sit on a pyre with her. She was protected by a shawl that kept her from being burnt. The shawl flew from her to Prahlad. So, Holika burned, Prahlad was safe.

Lord Vishnu appeared as half-man, half-lion and killed Hiranyakashyap at dusk, on his porch steps.

A Holika bonfire is lit every year to remind us of the victory of good over evil. Holi is celebrated on the day after the bonfire.

I hope now you would have got why do we celebrate Holi. Now I will end with my blog but before ending I would like to say

HAPPY HOLI!

IF I WERE A GENIE.

 IF I WERE A GENIE. Author:Aarya kulkarni. Grade:4A Hi friends! My name is Arya from Grade:4A.Today Iam going to write about a topic “ If I were a genie.” I would have lived in a magical lamp and would have come out only when some one would have rubbed the lamp.When I would be in the lamp it would feel like  as if I was trapped in a cage  but then that time I would feel very sad because I love freedom too. Because of my magical powers I would do many good things to the people like helping them, rescuing them also grab yummy food which is my favourite. I would go anywhere without any vehicle and I would love to fly.Since, I would be having a tail it would looking like as if iam a tornado.I love to be a genie because I love to help people. Thank you .
