Happy Holi, also called the Festival of Colors, is a celebration of the return of spring and the triumph of good over evil. People happily fling water and colored powder at one another, promoting harmony and joy. It's a season of bright festivities, feasts, and live entertainment. The origin of the celebration of Holi lies in the legend of King Kiranyakashipu sending the demon Holika to slay his son Prahlada. Holika attempted to deceive Prahlada into being burned to death on a bonfire, but because of her evil intent, Holika ended up burned and murdered.
