Here is a beautiful story behind Holi, the colour of festivals. Young Krishna is well known to be playful and very naughty. Story says, in childhood Sri Krishna was insanely jealous of Radha's fair complexion and her heavenly glamour as Sri Krishna himself was very dark in his childhood. He would always complain to his mother that nature did so injustice by giving him a dark complexion, while Radha was given a beautiful and fair complexion.
After hearing the innocent sound of little Krishna and seeing his sad face, mother Yashoda playfully suggested him to color Radha’s face in whatever color he wanted. Always seeking for some fun, Krishna didn't want to lose this chance. Making her one like himself, naughty Krishna applied various colors to Sri Radha’s sweet face. Radha did not oppose him, all gopis came to her defense, but slowly they surrender themselves to Krishna's augmented character and started to enjoy the game of color.
This loving game of Sri Krishna and Radha attracted everyone and all the residents of Vrindavan became fascinated with heavenly Maya of lord Sri Krishna and rejoiced in the game of colors. Soon, it became one of the village's most popular festivals and with the development of Sri Krishna's divinity, the festival spread far beyond the country.
However Krishna was not so dark when he was born. There is also a story behind his dark skin. A demon once tried to kill little Krishna by offering him poisoned milk. The poison could not kill Krishna but made Krishna turn blue. However the devil died for the spirited touch of little Krishna.
