The Story Behind Holi
Dating back centuries, Holi’s origins are rooted in Hindu mythology. One legend tells the tale of King Hiranyakashipu and his son, Prahlada, who refused to worship his father as a god. The king’s sister, Holika, attempted to harm Prahlada, but in a miraculous turn of events, she was destroyed while he remained unharmed—symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
Today, Holi is more than just a festival—it’s a reminder to let go of past grievances, embrace positivity, and celebrate life with open hearts.
