HOLI PLAY

Narrator 1: (Vidushi) - There was once a demon

king by the name of Hiranyakashyap who won
over the kingdom of earth.

Narrator 4: (Veda) - He was so egoistic that he

commanded everybody in his kingdom to worship
only him.He also had a son named Praladh.

Hiranyakhashyap: (Dyuthi) - I own the world.I

am the king of the world. Eveyone workships me.
HAHAHAHA

Praladh: (Rudraneel) - No father, you don’t own

this world.Lord Vishnu does. I don’t workship you.

Hiranyakhashyap (Dyuthi) - OH! you foolish

child, you shall regret this, you need to be taught a
lesson.

Narrator 2: (Naira) Hiranyakhashyap went to

visit his sister Holika.

Hiranyakhashyap: (Dyuthi)- my son believes

lord Vishnu is the king of this world, he needs to
be taught a lesson.
Holika : (Reya) I have an idea what if we burn
him alive. I'll sit with him in the fire, but because
I will be wearing my shawl I will be fine so we can
burn your son and I'll come out alive.

Hiranyakhashyap: (Dyuthi)That sound good.

Narrator 3: (Aarna)The
day comes, when
they plan to burn Praladh alive. Holika
holds Praladh tightly and sits in the
burning fire.
Holika: (Reya)You won’t go out alive today,
Praladh.

Praladh: (Rudraneel)My lord Vishnu will come to

save me, I don’t fear you.
(while looking up) Save me lord Vishnu.

Narrator 1: (vidushi)As soon as Praladh prayed

lord Vishnu, he appeared to save Praladh.

Lord Vishnu (Nyla) - Praladh you shall be

unharmed from the fire.
(Holika shouts loudly): (Reya)AHHHHHHHHHH

Villager 2: (Jay) No one will ever try to do bad in

this village ever again. Hail lord Vishnu.

this is a miracle! Hail

Villager 1: (Aarna)
Lord Vishnu. Holika burnt herself while
trying to burn Praladh.

Villager 2: (Jay) Oh! Lord save praladh from his

evil father

Praladh: (Shlok)Thank you Lord Vishnu, for

saving me.

Lord Vishnu: (Nyla)Bless you, child.

Hiranyakhashyap: (Nishtha)You evil child I will

kill you, I will tie you to a hot burning pole. I will
not leave you for killing my sister.
Narrator 1:(Vidushi)Hiranyakhashyap tied
Praladh to the pole, but once again Praladh was
saved by Lord Vishnu.

Praladh: (Shlok) Lord Vishnu will kill you.

Hiranyakhashyap: (Nishtha)HAHAHA I cannot

be killed you foolish child. I cannot be killed
during the day or night, inside or outside the
house, any place in the world i.e. neither in sky
nor on land nor in heaven nor in hell by any
weapon, and by man, god, asura or animal.

Narrator – 4 (Vedha) – It was so difficult to think

of an end for Hiranyakhashyap
Narrator 2: (naira)Lord Vishnu arrived on Earth
but this time in the form of Narsimha who was a
half lion – half human.

Narsimha:(nyla)This will be the end of you

Hiranyakashyap. A man you can kill his own child
should be killed at this very moment.
 Aarna)This way
Narrator 3: (
Hiranyakhasyap was killed.
And that’s how its all ended …

Narrator 4: (Veda) This auspicious festival is

celebrated during the spring season with great joy
and fervour. It is played with organic colours and
water balloons.

burn a bonfire and celebrate by singing songs
around it. Holi is a festival which reminds us of
the victory of good over evil.
