Holi signifies the triumph of good over evil and it's a day when people forgive and forget, and let go of the negative energies from their lives to start afresh. According to Hindu mythology, king Hiranyakashipu was given a boon by Lord Brahma that he could not be killed by either a man or any animal.Holi celebrates the arrival of spring, the end of winter, the blossoming of love and for many, it is a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships. The festival also celebrates the beginning of a good spring harvest season.Holi, also known as the festival of colours, is a religious occasion celebrated with much pomp. It is considered the second biggest Hindu festival after Diwali, and the celebrations last for two days - Choti Holi or Holika Dahan and Dhulandi or Rangwali Holi. It marks the celebration of the victory of good over evil.The moral of the story is that good always wins over evil, and those who seek to torment the faithful will be destroyed. To celebrate the story, large bonfires are burned during Holi. In many parts of India, a dummy of Holika is burned on the fire.In some regions of the country, people celebrate Choti Holi (small Holi) a day before celebrating Holi. According to legends, the day marks the celebration of the death of demon king Hiranyakashipu and his sister Holika. On this day, people put up different colours on each other and enjoy good food and drinks.
