Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to inform that Holi was celebrated in Bala Samskar Kendras in different locations in Assam. They have been doing it for the last four years. 
In some of the classes, our teachers discussed the importance of Holi. They talked about the stories associated with Holi.  It is a prominent festival where many people gather to throw colored powder at one another.  It also marks a farewell to winter and a welcome to the abundant, colorful season.
Different colors convey different sentiments when combined. Red symbolizes love and fertility, yellow signifies prosperity and new beginnings, blue is associated with the divine Krishna, and green embodies the rejuvenation of life and the onset of spring. Many of the colored powders used to celebrate are made with natural ingredients, such as dried marigold, hibiscus flowers, and henna leaves.

    According to our scriptures, the evil King Hiranyakashipu imposed restrictions on the worship of Lord Vishnu in his Kingdom. Nobody was supposed to worship Lord Vishnu. As the divine will had it, his own son, Prahlada, believed in Lord Vishnu and started worshipping him. The outraged father tried to stop his son, Prahallada, from worshipping Lord Vishnu. Prahallada was helped by Lord Vishnu, and the latter’s wicked aunt Holika was burnt to death. It signifies the victory of good over evil. It is believed that Holika pleaded with Prahallada for forgiveness before her death. Therefore, Prahallada announced that she would be remembered every year before Holi. This is why ‘Holika-dahan’ is celebrated across India on the day before Holi.

    According to another legend, when Radha and Krishna were in extreme delight, Lord Krishna applied color to Radha and the other Gopis.
    Also, people across India celebrate Holi according to their beliefs. According to the Matya Purana and the Siva and Bhagavata Puranas, Kamadeva is known as the Lord of Passion and Love and is described as a youth holding a quiver with five arrows. Goddess Parvati wanted to marry Lord Siva, who was least interested in marriage. He was in deep meditation, and no one dared disturb him. Kamadeva was sent to influence Lord Shiva to marry Goddess Parvati. Kamadeva disturbed Lord Shiva with the arrow of Love to wake him awake from his meditation. Realizing that he was disturbed by Kamadeva, he opened his third eye and burned him to ashes. People celebrated the sacrifice of Kamadeva, who risked his life to break Lord Shiva out of meditation to save the world. 

    It is celebrated to signify the triumph of good over evil, and the joy is expressed by applying different colors to their friends.
