The Hindu festival of Holi is back for another year of colours, food fun and celebrations.

After the king's order, Holika started the fire and sat in the flames with Prahlad, in hopes of killing him.On that day, the king was also defeated by Vishnu and evil was overthrown by good - therefore marking the day many now call Holi.Central to many people's beliefs, the story of Krishna and Radha also plays a big role in the festival of colours.
