About Holi Festival
Holi or Phagunyatra, is a festival celebrated worldwide by Hindus, Jains, and Buddhists. The word "Holi" originates from "Heru", which is Sanskrit for "god" or "fate". As per ancient Hindu texts such as the Puranas, one of the nakshatra or planets (associated with a particular star) related to Holi is Nibbana. Holi is the holy day for Hindus to celebrate the triumph of good over evil, a day to be celebrated with happiness and enthusiasm. Holi is celebrated at the full moon day of the month of Phalguna, typically falling in March or April.
The festival is usually celebrated for three days, called "Purnimā (Purnima)", "Dwārma (Dhanteras), and Āgama (or Chaitra)." During the three-day Holi festival, there is a continuous sequence of Holika fire offering to the god Vishnu, followed by joyous colours, playing with coloured powders, water and other fluids and games such as Holi badul, Khatu badul, Amartya, Garuda, Chutki etc.

History Of Holi Festival
In its early history, Holi was celebrated during the Chaitra month of the year, corresponding to February or March. The festival has been traced to the Mahabharata period. Holika is described as a figure of an old woman with an old and bony face, bent and emaciated, who is named Khodalika. Her husband, Badri, falls to her feet, begs for her forgiveness, and slaps her with his knees, thus causing the ensuing fire to engulf her. The Hridaya Sampradaya notes that on the day Holika was burnt, Krishna performed a divine yoga and rescued her soul. But the VHP asserts that Holika is mentioned as a personification of evil, and suggests that the fire engulfing Holika represents the non-possession of evil or some form of karma.
In the Bhagavata Purana, Holika is a married woman to a king and many references exist about her husband's role in the Holika-hatao initiative. She has seven sons and a daughter by her husband. The sons eat different types of food, smoke different typesThanks for visiting our blog.
