Holi-Truly Holy

All I love to share on Holi:
1. The word Holi may have come from a mythological character Holika's name.

2.Lord Krishna(People from North India believe), Lord Shiva and Kaamdev, the God of Love(People from South India believe) may have played a significant role in the origination of this festival.

3.It is a Truly secular festival celebrated in all
28 states of India.

4.It has 10 different names in India.

5.It is also celebrated outside India.

6. It also announces the advent of Spring.

7.. The rising trend is for using organic colors in the festival.

8. For the first time Indian markets are flooded by Chinese color powders.

9. It is the only day when kids get the permission to become filthy !
     Enjoy!
