Paragraph on holu

Holi is the widely celebrating festival of the year just like Diwali by the Hindus. Every year it falls in the month of Falgun (or March) which indicates the beginning of the spring season too. There is a great history and significance of celebrating this holi festival every year. Long years ago, there was a Holika, a devil sister of devil Hiranyakashyap who tried to burn Prahlad (son of her brother) in the big fire by taking him in her lap. Prahlad was a true devotee of God who was saved from fire by the God however Holika was burnt and changed to ashes. From then, Hindu people celebrate the victory of goodness over the devil power every year as a festival of holi.

It is a public holiday when all the banks, schools, colleges, offices and other institutions are closed. We celebrate this festival very happily by spraying colourful colours to each other in the morning. Generally, people celebrate holi for the whole day and come to home in the night.
