Holi

It is mentioned in the texts that in the crime of dissolving the penance of Lord Shiva, as per Devas' request, for the formation of lord Muruga, Kamdev was burnt by Shiva in the Ashtami of Falgun. Kamdev's wife Rati apologized at that time and Shiva assured Kamdev to revive. People play color in this happiness as Holi.
