Holi, popularly known as the 'Festival of Colours', is celebrated on the full moon day falling in the month of Phalguna (March). Like many other festivals in India, Holi also signifies the victory of good over evil. This festival has started from Erich of Jhansi in Bundelkhand. It was once the capital of Hiranyakashipu. Hiranyakashipu's sister Holika had a boon that she could not be consumed by fire.Hiranyakashipu ordered that Holika sit in the fire with Prahlad in her lap. Holika got burnt while sitting in the fire, but Prahlad survived. Holi is lit on this day in the memory of God devotee Prahlad.
