The story of Prahlad's escape. The king of all deamons wanted everyone to worship him because he was very powerful. But his son, Prahlad, wouldn't worship him. So the king of all deamons tried to posion him, but the posion turned into yummy sweeties. The king's sister Holika had a magic shawl that could protect her from fire. Prahlad was tricked into sitting on her lap and then a fire was started around them. The creator of all things, Vishnu, made the shawl fall down on Prahlad who was saved.
Holi The festival of colours
Why paint? Krishna liked to play jokes on girls. In the stories he threw paint at them. In Holi people throw paint for fun.
On the first day of Holi bonfires are lit to burn models of the demoness Holika.
