Holi is one of the most popular Hindu festivals. With increasing migration of Indians into other nations, Holi is now observed with as much fanfare in India as in places abroad wherever there is the presence of a Hindu community. Typically observed on the full-moon day of Phalguna (February-March), the joyous Holi festival is associated with the worship of Lord Krishna, and is considered an imitation of his play with the wives and daughters of the cowherds

As per Hindu mythology Holika had a special gift that prevented her from being harmed by fire. But still she died due to severe burns in medical terms. But why?
Vishnu stepped in and hence Holika burnt.
Holika’s power given by Brahma was on the understanding that “It can never be used to bring harm to anyone” – She broke the rule! It were Holika’s clothes with anti-fire power which she gave them to Prahlad to save him, as she was internally a good person. Holika wore a shawl that would protect her from fire. Holika wore it, took Prahlad down in her lap and the fire was lit. Now Lord Vishnu with his powers summoned a gust of wind which ultimately blew that shawl off of Holika on to Prahlad.
It was at this time of year, Krishna used to play pranks by drenching the village girls, with water and colors. At first it offended the girls. But they were so fond of this mischievous boy that soon their anger melted away. And, it did not take long for other boys to join in, making it a popular sport in the village. Later, as Krishna grew up, the play assumed a new dimension. It added more colors to Krishna's legendary love life. The legend of Krishna's courtship with Radha, and playing pranks with the 'Gopi's. The girls in the 'dairy' village of Gokul were mostly milkmaids, and, hence locally known as the Gopis. The same tradition has transpired through the ages, turning it into a community festival of the masses. As time kept flowing, the culture spread roots to other regions of the country. The Holi play of Krishna is documented in hundreds of ancient paintings, murals, sculptures and scriptures found across the subcontinent.

Each year, millions of Hindus participate in the Holi festival. It symbolizes the beginning of a new season, spring. Holi is a celebration to thank the gods for a good harvest. The bonfires that are lit signify the flame that consumed the evil demoness Holika and spared Prahlada, a boy who is said to be one of the greatest devotees of Shri Krishna. Holi is celebrated at every end of winter on the last day of the lunar cycle.
