Holi ka Dhahan has a great interesting background history.
Hiraranya Koshipu invaded India .Most probably he came from Mesopotamia. Mahendra Nath Dutta, the second brother of Swami Vivekananda explores this visiting Mesopotamia. He said that Mesopotamia was ruled by the Assyrian people in ancient times. They were literate but Mesopotamia was a devil ( Asurya) civilization which was described in our mythology. Not only that they used the Indian name and culture. Mahendra Nath Dutta has seen stone scripture in Mesopotamia. As their nature and culture, Hiranya Koshipo declared himself as God. He banned all types of rituals and prayers to God.
