About Holi Festivals:

Holi is a spring festival that is celebrated in India with utmost devotion. It is celebrated by throwing colors over each other and spreading happiness and cheer.

Holi is a day of joy, laughter, mischief, and love. On this day, any and every color is used to play Holi. The Holi festival is also known as Dhulandi , Dhulivandan , Dhulla , Dhulendi , Dhulendi Vasantotsav , Basantotsava , Vasantotsava.

Importance of Holi Festival:

Holi is one of Hinduism’s most important celebrations. It is widely observed in South Asia, particularly in India and Nepal. It is said to be a celebration of Lord Vishnu’s triumph over the demon king Hiranyakashipu.

Hiranyanakashipu wanted to kill his son, so he invited Holika, his sister. She wore a robe formed of magic. This robe had the ability to protect the wearer from being burnt by fire. Hiranyanakashipu told his sister to join Prahlad in front of a burning fire.

He assumed that the fire from the magic robe would not harm his sister, but that Prahlad would be burned to death. However, the outcome was the opposite of what the evil demon king had planned.

As a result, Prahlad escaped the burning fire unharmed, whereas Holika died.

So this festival represents the victory of good over evil, as well as the eternal love of Radha and Krishna.

Holi Special Sweets Recipes:

In India, festivals are incomplete without sweets. Just like in the other festivals, the kitchen smells delicious all week long during this holiday, as Holi preparations begin months in advance. Gujiya, Gud ka pua, Dahi vada, Malpua, Kathal ki Sabzi, Tari wale aloo ki sabzi and Thandai are some of the traditional Holi foods that are prepared in practically every home during the holiday.
