Many stories are associated with Holi. Holi is lit one night before celebrating Holi. There is a famous story behind celebrating it.
Devotee Prahlada’s father Hariyanyakaship considered himself a god. He was opposed to Vishnu while Prahlada was a devotee of Vishnu. He stopped Prahlada from doing Vishnu devotion and when he did not agree, he tried to kill Prahlada. Prahlad’s father finally sought help from his sister Holika. Holika had the blessing of not burning in the fire. Holika agreed to assist her brother. Holika sat in the pyre with Prahlad but Prahlada was protected by the grace of Vishnu and Holika was consumed by burning.
This story indicates that good must triumph over evil. Even today, on the full moon day, Holi is lit, and on the next day everyone puts gulal, abir and different colors on each other. This festival is a festival of colors.
On this day, people wake up in the morning and go to the homes of their relatives and friends with colors and play Holi with them fiercely. This festival holds special significance for children. They bring various types of squirrels and balloons from the market for them one day in advance. Children enjoy Holi with their friends with balloons and squirrels. Everyone forgets hatred and hugs each other. Women make sweets, gujhias, etc. a day in advance and share among themselves in their neighborhood. Many people make the Holi tolli and call them Huriyare.
Though this festival is celebrated all over the country, Holi of Braj, Holi of Mathura, Holi of Vrindavan, Holi of Barsana, Holi of Kashi are famous all over India.
Nowadays good quality colors are not used and colors that damage the skin are played. This is completely wrong. On this pleasant festival, one should stay away from chemical paste and intoxication.

Like the festival of Holi, its traditions are also very ancient and its form and purpose has changed over time. In ancient times it was celebrated by married women for family happiness and prosperity and it was a tradition to worship the full moon. In the Vedic period, this festival was called Navatraishti Yajna. At that time, the law of taking prasad by donating the half-grain of the field in the sacrificial fire was widespread in the society. The grain is called Hola, from which it got its name Holika Utsav. According to Indian astrology, New Year is also considered to be the beginning of Chaitra Shudi Pratipada.
