Description

Holi takes its name from Holika, the demonic sister of the wicked king Hiranyakashyap in Hindu mythology. King Hiranyakashyap attempted to prevent his son Prahlad from worshiping one of the major deities in Hinduism, Vishnu. Despite paternal threats, Prahlad persevered in his devotion. In response, the king ordered Prahlad and Holika, who was immune to fire, to sit on a pyre. Incredibly, as the flames engulfed the pyre, Holika, despite her alleged immunity to fire, perished in the blaze, while Prahlad was spared by invoking the help of Lord Vishnu. This myth represents the triumph of virtue over wickedness and underscores the power of faith and devotion. The joyous and colorful celebrations of Holi stand as a monument of gratitude for the victory of justice. They represent the deep Hindu belief that faith and dedication lead to salvation, opening the doors of redemption to anyone who believes. Exhibited at St.Lawrence College in Kingston, Canada.
