On Dhulandi we burn Holika as we are burning the all evil spirit of our society.
And we all know that holika dahan is the main part of holi and it is done to represent the killing of holika by Lord vishnu in order to save prahlad.
On this day, pyres are burnt in both the countries, Nepal and India. The burning fire represents the burning of devil, Holika.

Reason behind playing Holi....
King Hiranyakaship had earned a boon that made him indestructible and because of such super powers , he becomes blind and more aggressive and finally he started believing that he was a God for all the people and told everyone that they will worship only him otherwise he will kill that particular person.
But his own son Prahlad disagreed him and started worshipping the lord vishnu. this made Hiranyakaship more arrogant and sometimes in aggression he used to of giving cruel punishments to his own son. But still he worship only Lord Vishnu and neglected the all wordings of his father, Hiranyakaship.
Holika , prahlad's evil aunt tried to kill him by sitting in a pyre. Holika was wearing a cloak which protects her from the fire whereas prahlad had not wear any kind of such cloak.
as the fire started burning, the cloak flew away from holika and encased prahlad and at last holika burnt, prahlad survived and Lord Vishnu killed prahlad's father, Hiranyakaship.
Today , the pyre is a reminder of the victory of good over evil.
How it is played in various part of our country....
In various part it is celebrated quite differently...
In Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Bihar, Punjab it is celebrated similarly..people or kids living there wake up early in the morning and go out of the house in order to colour each other before the other person. Small kids take their filled balloon with them and start playing in groups...temples are decorated and in evening people go to each other's home and share the all about things happened on that day with each other.
Khadi holi is played in the uttarakhand.
in that kind of holi the people living there wears different traditional cloths and uses different types of colours to colour each other .
Lathmar holi is played in the village of barsana and nandgao.
As we know that the men mainly go from nandgao to barsana with their colours similarly like Krishna to colour the all Gopis living there. Shri Krishna used to go there at this event to colour the gopis and especially Radha. The women use lathis or stick to welcome the men.
In maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh it is known as Rang panchami , the name is different but the method of celebrating is almost same as celebrated in north part of India.
In assam it is known as Phakuwah. It is played in basically two days one day they burn all the clay houses as the holika dahan and on other day , they play with colours.
In west Bengal it is known as Basant Utsav and Dol Jatra. here , they celebrate basant utsav to welcome the spring season And on Dol Jatra they wear their traditional cloths and dance to show their happiness, love, respect towards each other.
On holi , I am used to wake up early in the morning and to fill all the balloons with coloured water and as soon as possible we slowly go out of our houses in order to colour each other before the another person and I prefer to play holi in group and in evening we all went to each others home with sweets and gifts and share all the things of that day together and I love to spent the day with my family and friends.
Holi - The Festival of colours and happiness.
Holi is the festival of love, colours and happiness. Holi is celebrated all over India with great cheer. It is celebrated to glorify the win of good over the evil. It is celebrated in the honour of Lord Vishnu. Holi is celebrated in the month of Falgun (according to Hindu Calender). Holi in most of the places is celebrated for 2 days - The Chotti Holi/Holika Dahan. The next day is Dhulandi or Rangwali Holi. Holi also states the beginning of the spring season.
Holi festival has an interesting story linked to it. An evil king name Hiranyakashyap was deathless (immortal). He wanted all the people to considered him as the superior God and worship him. He threatened everyone to worship him, but his own son Prahalada didn't worship his father but was the follower and devotee of Lord Vishnu. Prahalada's this act made Hiranyakashyap loose his temper. He tried each and every way to kill his son. He told his sister Holika to sit on fire with Prahalada. It is said that Holika had a power,she can't be injured by fire. Holika was totally burnt till death but Prahalada was safe as he was a devotee of Lord Vishnu. Narasimha an avatar of Lord Vishnu defeated Hiranyakashyap. Holi celebrates the win of Lord Vishnu against Hiranyakashyap,the triumph of good over evil.
Holi is celebrated throughout India, each place celebrates Holi in different styles depending upon the native culture and tradition. In maharashtra, people burn Holi(Bonfire) and eat roasted coconuts as prashad. Each house has tasty food prepared like Puran Poli. Holi's next day is celebrated by playing with colours or gulal.
In Punjab, people decorate their houses with Garlands and draw beautiful Rangolis in front of their doors or courtyards. In West Bengal , The people pray Lord Krishna and Agnideva. They cover the idol of Lord Krishna with gulal and start with the festival.
Holi every year has brought great memories to my life. The best thing happened to me last year. I got a new best friend! We never talked to each other. It all began when I by mistakenly poured a bucket full of coloured water on him. I was scared when I got to know it was him. But he smiled and threw whole 3 buckets continuously on me. This made us best friends forever !
But this year, keeping in mind the scarcity of water , me and my friends enjoyed playing 'Dry Holi' with natural and chemical free colours.
