Holi celebration commemorates the victory of good over evil, whose name was brought out by the burning of the monster named Holika and destruction. This was capable of the protection of Hindu God through devotion devoted to Lord Vishnu.

Holi's name was found in the form of a festival of colors from Lord Krishna, the rebirth of Lord Vishnu, who liked the girls of the village to make fun of the water and colour.

The festival marks the end of winter and the abundance of the upcoming spring crop season.

What rituals are performing?
An emphasis on holi rituals is being ignited. On the eve of Holi, large bones are lit to mark the occasions. It is known as Holika Dahan, along with a special pooja, people sing and dance around the fire, and roam around.

Holika's burn is described in the Hindu text, Narada Purana. Obviously, Holika's brother Rajan Raja Hiranyakasip instructed his son Prahlad to burn, because he used to worship Lord Vishnu and did not worship him. Holika sat in her lap with Prahlad, in a burning fire, because it was thought that no fire could harm her. However, due to his devotion to Lord Vishnu, who protected him, Prahlad escaped and Holika died.

Contrary to most other festivals in India, there are no religious rituals to perform on the main day of Holi. It's just a day for fun!
