Plan 1:The Legend of Holi
The Festival is based on the Hindu legend Holika, the female demon and the sister of the demon Hiranyakashayap. It is believed that Hiranyakashayap was the ruler of the universe and also superior to all gods.
However,Hiranyakashayap'sHiranyakashayap's son Prahlad went against his mother by following Lord Vishnu. This action left his father with no choice but to collaborate with Holika to kill him.
Prahlad escaped his fate with the saving hand of Vishnu while Holka died in the flames. But later on, Vishnu killed Prahlad and his mother and became King. The moral behind the story is that good always wins over evil.
The name festival of colors came from Lord Krishna's childhood antics. Lord Krishna was a reincarnation of the Lord Vishnu, who enjoyed playing pranks on girls from the village by drenching them in water and smearing them with colors.
There are other Hindu Traditions that are linked to this legend. For instance, Shaivism and Shaktism, where goddess Parvati awaits to bring back Shiva into the world while seeking help from the Hindu god of love Kamadeva and Vasant Panchami.

The results of yogi'syogi's actions not only upset Rati Kama's wife but Parvati as well. Rati asks for forgiveness from Shiva. Finally, Shiva decides to forgive and restore the god of love, and on this day, Hindu celebrate it as Holi.
