Holi is one of the most popular Hindu festivals, and it's celebrated by people both young and old. from lighting the Holika bonfire, to playing colors, to visiting with friends and family, holi is a wonderful celebration to bring the community together and celebrate the triumph of good over evil.
Holi is called the festival odd colours. I celebrate holi by spraying colours on everyone and in return they spray colours on me. the below are some of the fun activities which was taken place during the celebration of this colourful event "HOLI".Traditionally, 40 days before the Holi celebration, there would be a log placed in the center of town to signify it was time to collect wood for the Holika bonfire. everyone placed any wood or flammable scrap materials they had on top of the log and they'd end up with a large pile of wood ready to burn. on the evening of holi, place a combustible statue of Holika, the sister of the demon king HiraNYAKashyap, in the pile of firewood. burning Holika in the bonfire symbolizes the triumph of good over evil because she is said to have tried to kill Prahlad the son of HiraNYAKashyap and a devoted follower of lord Narayana.
use a fire starter like kerosene to pour a little on the wood to help get the fire going. light a match and throw it into the pile of wood to start the fire. Make sure to stand far from the wood when trying to start the fire so you don't get hurt.
While you watch the bonfire, chant the Rak shog nA mantras. these mantras are found in the rig Veda, an ancient Indian collection of the Vedic Sanskrit hymns. enjoy the fire by dancing around it and chanting the mantras to ward off evil spirits.
