Holi is celebrated on the day after the full moon in early March every year. It is the time when the crops have been harvested, and it is time to have some fun! The festival begins on the previous night, which is the night of the full moon. The following morning, the streets are filled with people running, giggling and splashing coloured water or powder on each other.
The story of Holi centres on a arrogant King Hiranyakashipu who resents his son Prahlada worshipping Lord Vishnu. The king's sister Holika is sent to burn the body to death. However, the prince Prahlada emerges unscathed from the flames, while Holika is burnt to death. Huge bonfires are burnt on the eve of Holi to symbolize the destruction of the wicked Holika, for whom the festival was named.
