Amma, Tell Me About Holi! Worksheets

by Bhakti Mathur

Klaka waits all day for bedtime, because Amma has promised to tell him all about Holi, her favorite festival of colors. Snuggled in her lap, he hears how Holi is a day of water balloons, pichkaris and bright colors, and how the custom began with a prank that naughty Krishna played on his friend Radha. Then Amma tells the story behind the bonfire the night before Holi: wicked King Hiranyakashipu, who wants everyone to worship only him, and his kind son Prahlad, who prays only to Lord Vishnu. A rhyming Holi story about colors, faith, kindness and love.
