My Favourite Festival 'Holi'


 We celebrate festivals. My most  favourite festival is Holi. It is falls on the full  moon day to  Falgun. It is said it is the festival  of friendship . It is the  beginning of the spring season.

 In this  festival , all friends  get together and play  with  colourful  powder and liquid. At the  end of  the game,  our clothes  are completely  wet. One  cannot  easily  recognize us while  in the play because  our faces are fully  covered with colourful power. But it is  always  friendly  and enjoyable.

 Adults play  this festival  in a systematic  way.  They  visit  homes  after homes. They  even  sing songs and  play . They  are given  sweets while playing.  It's  a very  interesting festival. It is also a symbol  of love among  people .

 Hindu believe once,  Holika  was blessed  that  the fire would  not affect her. She  wanted  to kill  Prahlad for this  brother ,  Hiranyakashipu. So,  she tired to get Prahlad burnt in the life. So,  Holika and Prahlad were  kept  together  in a big fire. But,  It didn't affect Prahlad. Holika was  burnt. Hindu have been  playing this festival  since then.

 But  these days,  some  hostile  behaves are seen. We  must  be careful to be  civilized .We  should care and follows its norms and values.
