HISTORY OF HOLI:
Holi is a national holiday in India and Nepal with regional holidays in other countries.The origins of Holi come from a mix of Hindu mythology including the popular legend of Hiranyakashyap - a demon king who wanted to be immortal.He wanted everyone to worship him as god but his own son, Prahlada, chose to worshipped Vishnu instead, which offended his father.
One day the demon king asked his sister Holika, who had a magic shawl that could not catch fire, to sit on a raging fire with Prahlada in her lap.As the fire burned the shawl flew from the Holika’s shoulders onto Prahalada and she perished while he survived.
The god Vishnu, impressed by Prahalada’s devotion, then appeared and killed the demon king, Hiranyakashyap.Another Hindi legend remembered over Holi is the tale of Lord Shiva and Kaamadeva.It is believed Kaamadeva, the god of passion, woke Shiva from his deep meditation so he could save the world.
