Dhokadi with festival of Holi

Holi Festival:
Friends, can you imagine a life without colors?

We celebrate Holi, just one day but colors remain in our life throught, and when it comes to children oh………..red, blue, yellow, orange, green, purple, pink and lots of other…………. Friends, the spring is in full swing and the festival of color is just around the corner. Holi, the word, signifies the act of burning.
The story goes like this that a few thousand years ago, there lived a demon king in India named Hiranyakashyap. The king had a son named Prahlad who was an ardent devotee of lord Vishnu.Father, Hiranyakashyap opposed his devotion to lord Vishnu. The father ultimately planned to kill his son. In this venture, he asked his sister Holika for help. She had a boon of immunity from fire, so the king planned that she shall sit on a pyre with Prahlad on her lap, hoping he would be burnt to ashes. But Prahlad’s prayer helped him in the fire and Holika burnt in the flames of fire. It is believed that the burning bonfire takes away all our evils.

Lord Krishna’s holi with colors is very well known. In ancient time people used traditional colors from the flower of ‘Palaash’. It is also known as the purest fire colored flower.

Drop this flower in water than water becomes great orange color. This is pure natural color and we play holi with this water. This color is good for skin.

Across the world whenever Indians or people of Indian origin celebrate Holi with great enthusiasm, the major intention of such festival is to bring people together and generate a feeling of brotherhood and harmony.Are you ready to play holi with this water..........
