Holi is one of the major festivals celebrated in India. There are many festivals but none of them are celebrated with the same exuberance and vibrance as Holi. Every festival in India has its own significance. Holi signifies youth ,joy, happiness, warmth and the colors associated with the springtime. A time when sun is shining and the nature is soaking in its warmth. It is a time when nature is at its full glory, new beings come into existence and one can observe various shades in nature. And these shades of colors make themselves prominent in the festival of Holi. It is a time when people let go of their past and start afresh with new beginnings.

According to the hindu myth King Hiranyakashyapu had thirst for absolute power and hence he wanted people to treat him like god. However his son Pralhad who was a believer in Vishnu refused to avail to this. Hence the king asked his sister Holika who was believed to be immune to fire to sit on a bonfire with his son Pralhad on her lap. However Pralhad due to devotion towards lord Vishnu Pralhad survived and Holika got burnt to death. Hence the on night of holi people light bonfires and celebrate the triumph of good over bad.
