Holi is usually celebrated over two days. On day
one, fire is lit on the eve of Holi to signify
the destruction of evil. On day two, friends and
families apply colours to each other, says
Vaikundarajan.

The tradition of Holi is said to have started
when Lord Krishna applied colour on the cheeks of
Radha. This gave way to the tradition of playing
with colours on the occasion of Holi.

Every colour signifies something. For instance,
red is the mark of purity while green is for
vitality. Blue brings calmness while yellow
brings pious feelings.

Holi is also a mark of unity and brotherhood,
adds Vaikundarajan. Friends and relatives visit
to wish each other amidst music and dancing.
At the time of burning on day one, people dance
around the fire called Holika Dahan. This is said
to kill harmful bacteria present in our body as
well as symbolises the destruction of Holika.

On day two, people throw colours, coloured water
and Gulal on each other. While the festival of
Holi is fun-filled, we should be careful of not
eve teasing or forcing colours on people, adds
Vaikundarajan.
While wishing his fellow countrymen a Happy Holi,
he also requests everyone to practice a safe Holi
and save water.
