Holi in the Punjab region originated in the city of Multan〔A White Trail: A Journey into the heart of Pakistan's Religious Minorities by HAROON KHALID ()〕 in the Prahlada-Puri Temple.〔(Sohaib Arshad The Friday Times 31 12 2010 )〕 The original temple of Prahladpuri is said to have been built by Prahlada, son of Hiranyakashipu, the king of Multan (Kashya-papura) in honor of Narasimha Avatar, an incarnation of Hindu god Vishnu, who emerged from the pillar to save Prahlada.〔(Temple of Prahladpuri-Multan ) Survey & Studies for Conservation of Historical Monuments of Multan.

==Etymology==
The word "Holi" is derived from the word 'hola', which means to offer oblation or prayer to God as thanksgiving for good harvest.〔(About Hinduism by Gyan Rajhans )〕 The word 'holi' is also believed to be related to the Sanskrit word 'holka' which means 'half-baked corn'. Half-roasted gram and coarse wheat called hola were eaten on the day of Holi.〔(Bhavan's Journal, Volume 14, Issues 14-26 Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan 1968 )〕 In the Punjab region, the wheat is harvested during the month of Vaisakh which arrives two months after Holi. Therefore, Holi is a thanksgiving festival for the future harvest.
Holi is also derived from the word Holika who was herself burnt to death when trying to burn her brother's son Prahlada in her laps.〔
