Significance of Holi
Holi has deep cultural and mythological significance. The festival is associated with the legend of Prahlad and Holika, symbolizing the triumph of devotion and righteousness over arrogance and evil. It is also linked to Lord Krishna and his playful act of applying colors to Radha and the Gopis, which later became a tradition.
The Legend of Prahlad and Holika: The most famous story is of Prahlad, a devotee of Lord Vishnu, and his father, the demon king Hiranyakashipu. Hiranyakashipu despised Vishnu and tried to kill his son for worshipping Him. His sister, Holika, who had a boon of immunity against fire, sat in flames with Prahlad on her lap. However, due to divine intervention, Holika was burned while Prahlad was unharmed. This symbolizes the victory of good over evil.
