Hello @PaulPavlinovich
Thanks for sharing the views.
But Krishna’s blue colour was due to poison of a dangerous snake. It’s to be believed that one day krishna and his some friends was playing with bat and ball so krishna kicked the ball and it falls in the ocean (where a dangerous snake was there) due to the fear of that snake no one go there because even the water was affected due to the poison of snake but krishna was brave enough he go into the sea and punish the snake for his bad behvaiour and take the ball out
So that’s why the whole body of Krishna is blue (due to the affected water which contians poison).

HOLI IS VERY POPULAR FESTIVAL OF INDIA.
Holi is considered as one of the most revered and celebrated festivals of India and it is celebrated in almost every part of the country. It is also sometimes called as the “festival of love” as on this day people get to unite together forgetting all resentments and all types of bad feeling towards each other. The great Indian festival lasts for a day and a night, which starts in the evening of Purnima or the Full Moon Day in the month of Falgun. It is celebrated with the name Holika Dahan or Choti Holi on first evening of the festival and the following day is called Holi. In different parts of the country it is known with different names.
The vibrancy of colors is something that brings in a lot of positivity in our lives and Holi being the festival of colours is actually a day worth rejoicing. Holi is a famous Hindu festival that is celebrated in every part of India with utmost joy and enthusiasm. The ritual starts by lighting up the bonfire one day before the day of Holi and this process symbolizes the triumph of good over the bad. On the day of Holi people play with colours with their friends and families and in evening they show love and respect to their close ones with Abeer.

Every year holi is celebrated in india.
The event is connected from “Praladh and Hirna kashyap” myth.
A part from that, it is the welcome sign from arrival of Summer season. Some elders also believe that, practicing fire(holi) would also leads towards less disease all around.
During the celebration in Gujarat, people throw corn and walk around the holi fire by chanting the names of their goddess.
