Holi is an important festival of Indian people celebrated in the spring and also for Nepalese people. According to the Hindu calendar. This festival, called the festival of colours, is traditionally celebrated for two days in India. It is celebrated prominently in India and Nepal. Holika is burnt on the first day, which is also known as Holika Dahan. On the second day, people play with colourful colours.

Many stories are associated with the festival of Holi. The most famous of these is the story of Prahlad. It is believed that in ancient times, Hiranyakhipipu was an extremely powerful force. In his pride he considered himself to be God. He had restricted the name of God in his kingdom. Prahlaad, son of Hiranyakhipu, was a god worshiper. Hearing against Prahlad's godly devotion, Hiranyakashipu gave him many harsh punishments, but he did not leave the path of devotion to God. Hiranyakhipu's sister Holika had a boon that she could not be consumed in the fire. Hiranyakhipipu ordered Holika Prahlad to sit in the fire and take it in the fire. The Julia was burnt when she was sitting in the fire, but Prahlad survived. Holi is celebrated on this day in memory of god devotee Prahlad.
