Lord Krishna Legend associated with Holi Celebration
Shree Krishna, an avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu is one of the most charismatic and interesting deity in hinduism. Lord Krishna is associated with many stories and legends in the Great Hindu Mythology but the story associated with Lord Krishna about Holi festival is one of the most popular
stories. Previously we have mentioned Prahlada and Hiranyakashipu Legend in HOLI MESSAGES article.

The name
Krishna originates from the Sanskrit word Kṛṣṇa, which is primarily an adjective meaning "black", "dark" or "dark blue". It is believed that when Lord Krishna was child, once he was sad over his dark complexion and wondered why 'Radha' was so fair and complained to his mother Yashoda about the injustice of nature . Then mother Yashoda playfully suggested that he can smear colour on Radha's face and change her complexion to any colour he wanted. Fascinated by the idea, Krishna proceeded to do so and thus, introduced the festival of colours. It is also believed that Lord Krishna have popularised the festival by playing pranks on the 'gopis'. The Holi of Braj, Barsana, Mathura and Vrindavan is famous all over the world for its intimate connection with the divine deities and their love.
According to another legend, a demoness named
Putna once tried to kill infant Krishna in the command of King Kansa, the tyrant ruler of the Vrishni kingdom with its capital at Mathura. She assumed the disguise of a young, beautiful woman and came to Gokul (Vraj) - Krishna's home-town. Her beauty resulted in her being mistaken by gopas (cowherds) as a manifestation of goddess Lakshmi. Stunned by her beauty, Krishna's foster-mother Yashoda allowed Putana to take the infant Krishna in her lap and breastfed him because of which Krishna turned blue. Putana had smeared her breast with a mandana, an intoxicant, to kill Krishna. However, Krishna squeezed her breasts and took her life away(prana), as well as her milk. In pain, Putana screamed, pleading for her release, but in vain. She ran out of the town with Krishna still clinging to her and finally fell dead. She then assumed her real demonic form. The people of Vraj cut Putana's body, burying her bones and feet and burning the flesh and skin. The fragrant smoke rose out of the flames, as Putana was cleansed of all sin by breast-feeding Krishna and she attained the same heaven that Yashoda acquired. Hence, the biggest celebration of Holi takes place at Mathura where this incident happened with Krishna. After the death of demoness Putana, people of Mathura till date celebrates this festival in the evening by lighting bonfire.
