People are very excited about the festival of Holi. Yesterday was Holi and today the festival of colors is Dhuleti. The festival of Holi and Dhuleti is celebrated with great pomp across the country. But do you know why Holi festival is celebrated? Who started the festival of Holi? You will be surprised to know that the place where the festival of Holi started is in Pakistan today.
Even though the country is divided, how can the evidence of Sanatan Dharma be eradicated? There is a Prahladpuri temple in Multan, Pakistan. It is believed that Holi was first celebrated here. In relation to Holi, you must have known the story of devotee Prahlad Holika and Lord Vishnu’s Narasimha avatar. But perhaps you would not know the truth behind this story that this incident related to devotees Prahlad, Hiranyakashyap and Holika took place in Pakistan.
Devotee Prahlad built the temple of Narasimha avatar of Lord Vishnu at the place of Holika Dahan. This temple is located in Multan, Pakistan. Which is known as Prahladpuri Temple and according to folklore, it is the place from where the festival of Holi began, which is located in Multan, Pakistan.
The festival of Holi was celebrated for 9 days in the Prahladpuri temple before partition. But after 1947, the condition of this temple worsened and in 1992 a crazy mob demolished the temple. Since then no repair has been done here. Today the condition of this temple has become completely dilapidated. Holi, a festival of colors, started from this temple. Today this holy site is in a dilapidated state, but Hindus living in Pakistan have now raised their voice about this temple.
The Pakistan Hindu Rights Organization said that Holi should be provided security from March 14 to 16. Holi, the festival of Hindus, should be allowed to celebrate peacefully. If Hindus have the right to equality in the constitution, then they should be allowed to use it. The Pakistan Hindu Rights Organization has demanded the Shahbaz government to celebrate Holi at the ancient Prahladpuri temple in Multan. The organization says that security and facilities should be ensured during the Holi celebrations at Prahladpuri temple. It remains to be seen whether this wish of Hindus living in Pakistan will be fulfilled or not.
