Holi Short speech...🍀🍀🍀

1. HOLI SHORT SPEECH
Respected class teacher and my dear friends. A very pleasant morning to all of
you. I am very happy to present a speech on ‘Holi’ in front of you as it is one of my
favorite festivals.
We all know thatHoliis a festival of colors. People enjoy it by using colors and by
pouring water with the help of a water gun on each other. We also enjoy it with a
variety of cuisines. The most important sweet of this festival is ‘Gujiya’. It is the
most entertaining and joyful festival in the country.
We celebrate this festival with the triumph of good over evil. The main object of
this festival is love and compassion with each other. On this auspicious day, we
should get rid of all the ill-feelings towards each other and spread happiness.
Before the colourfulday, we also celebrate HolikaDahan, which is a part of
theHolifestival. The reason behind celebrating this festival is a story of a king
named Hiranyakashyapuwhich I will be sharing with you.

2. CONTINUATION
This king had a son, Prahladwho was highly devoted to god. Prahlad’s
devotion made his father angry and his father decided to kill him. He
asked his sister, Holika, who was immune to fire, to sit in the fire with
Prahladin her lap.
Fortunately, Prahladwas blessed by God and didn’t get burnt but
Holikawas burnt to ashes. This led to the festival of Holi. Hence, just
the day before the colors day, people in India, celebrate HolikaDahan.
They collect wood and unnecessary things and put them on fire.
The story behind HolikaDahaninspires us and gives us the message
that it is always goodness that wins over evil. With this message to
remember, I wish you all a very happy and joyful Holi.
Thank you all for your time and patience and I wish you a very
happyHolionce again.
