cultural event by sapana punjabi

My cultural event is regarding the festival of holi. The festival of holi is the festival of colors , fire and all of it.
The festival of holi is celebrated to thank the god for good harvest and it has connection with the farmers harvest. The festival of holi is quite celebrated by youngsters in india with colors . The incident quite remebered is that of Hiranyakashyapu who was demon of oldest times who won the battle against all lords . So he ordered every one to obey him and pray him. His son prahlad was a great devotee of lord narayan.He discussed this matter to his sister holika , who was given boon by lords that she would be unharmed by fire.So she took prahlad in to the fire for burning his legsand sat with him. The result is she was burned by fire inspite of the boon whereas prahlad was unharmed by fire. The conclusion is taht good always wins over evil. This is the festival of goddness and belief in god. This festival is very much celebrated in mathura, a place in india. Referance: Watch out for videoon youtube.com of holi in indian movie "MOHABBATEIN" STARRING SHAH RUKH KHAN. AISHWARYA, OTHERS. Name of song is soni soni ankheyo wali....
