Description of the tour
Tour itinerary: Kathmandu
One of the happiest holidays for Hindus is Holi. It truly is a carnival of color. During this festivity, people splatter each other with water and colored powder. The festival's celebration is rooted in several legends.
According to one legend, it is said that the demon king Hiranyakashyapa and his sister Holika tried to kill their son Prahlad by immolating him because Prahlad decided to worship Lord Vishnu instead of his father. So Holika, who had a magical shawl that would protect her from fire, took Prahlad into her lap and stepped into a bonfire. However, due to the miracle of Lord Vishnu, it was Holika who got burnt and died and Prahlad who came out unscathed. Thus the festival is celebrated as a reminder of this miraculous event. According to another legend, it is said that Lord Krishna painted his lover Radha’s face with the same colour after his mother advised him to do so. So people imitate this event by splashing colours on their loved ones during this festival.
