           welcome to another post of glazed gloss as we all know the beautiful festival of holi is approaching i thought why not share the story of its origin and some useful tips for skin and hair care with you that will be very useful to you while enjoying this colourfilled festival.

                         holi is one of the biggest festivals of india.it is celebrated throughout the country with lot of enthusiasm .it is celebrated in spring ,which is also marked as the season of joy and happiness.it marks the beginning of summer.

                            it is a 2 day festival which consists of holika dehan on the first day also called as chhoti holi and dulendi or playing with colors on the second day.

   

      THE STORY BEHIND THE FESTIVAL

                         the origin of the festival can be traced years ago when king hirankashyap , who was the king of demons had a son named prahlad .prahlad was a great devotee of lord vishnu and this was disliked his father . hirankashyap thought himself to be god .unable to change his sons devotion towards lord vishnu he became his enemy and thought before his popularity lessens for a fact that his own son worships some other god .he decided to kill prahlad but  was unable to succeed in his various attempts.then his sister suggested that she was blessed by a sage that she was immune from fire and could not be burnt down so she would seat prahlad in her lap and would be set fire upon. she would be saved and prahlad would be burnt. however as destiny would have it, how could she use a blessing for a bad deed .she was burnt down to ashes and prahlad survived .since that day holi is celebrated on a full moon night where a heap of wooden sticks is collected and burnt which also symbolizes that we should end or burn down our vices and lay emphasis on good virtues.

    since holi is a festival of colors it is important that we take certain precautions for our skin and 

hair so that we can enjoy the festival without any kind of problem later.
