It is called Holi because of the legend of Holika from the Vaishnava theology. It tells the tale of the King of Demons Hiranyakashipu and his son Prahlad.<\/p>\n<p>The King was unhappy with his son because Prahlad was a staunch follower of Lord Vishnu. Hiranyakashipu was gifted immortality from Lord Brahma but soon grew arrogant and demanded his people worship him instead. However, Prahlad remained faithful to Vishnu.<\/p>\n<p>Hiranyakashipu tried again and again to destroy his son\u2019s belief but miserably failed. He then ordered his sister Holika to sit on a burning pyre with Prahlad. Holika was immune to fire and the King used this to get rid of his son permanently. The son respected his father\u2019s wishes and chanted Vishnu\u2019s name as he walked into the fire with his aunt.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Vishnu moved by Prahlad\u2019s devotion saved him and let Holika burn to death. The burning of Holika was seen as the triumph of good over evil. The people rejoiced and applied the ash from the pyre on their faces to signify the end of evil.<\/p>\n<p>A day before the <a href=\"http:\/\/34.228.189.90\/holi-festival-in-india-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Holi festival<\/a>, people gather at night to burn large bonfires to signify that good is always victorious. They gather around the flames and pray to vanquish all the evil around and then the next day is the joyous colorful celebrations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_the_Holi_Festival_celebrated_in_India\"><\/span>How is the Holi Festival celebrated in India?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The festival of colors is a day of frivolous fun as people run around smearing colored powder on each other\u2019s faces.
