Holi is a festival in India. It is the festival of colours. The story behind this is given below:-
Once, there was king named Hiranyakashyap. He was a powerful king. People, even gods worshipped him. He had a son named Prahalad, who, worshipped the god Vishnu, one of the gods from Trideva (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) who sat on the snake god, Vasuki. Hiranyakashyap didn't liked it. He told his son again and again to worship him but Prahalad continued to worship Vishnu. Seeing the action taken by Prahalad, he decided to punish him. He called his sister, Holika, and made her understand his decision. Holika had a shawl which was magical. It was fire-proof, means if one sat in the agni (fire) wearing it, he will not be affected by the agni. The same night, sages lit up a sacrificial fire. When Holika with Prahalad were going to sit on it, a wind came and the fire-proof cloth drew up on Prahalad. As they sat on the fire, Holika was burned down to ashes. Hiranyakashyap got angry and was going to kill Prahalad. But at that moment, Vishnu came down on spot, and kicked Hiranyakashyap. He then took the avatar of Narasimha, half man and half lion. He made sit Hiranyakashyap sit on his lap, and then, Narasimha, with his claws, teared open Hiranyakashyap's chest, killing him.
From that day on, people got freedom from the cruel king, Hiranyakashyap.
