Bank Holidays in Jharkhand 2017

Jharkhand was a part of Bihar until the year 2000. However, the state was carved out from Bihar. The capital of Jharkhand is Ranchi, which is also the hometown of popular Indian batsman M S Dhoni. One of the biggest advantages for the state of Jharkhand is that it is very rich in mineral resources, including iron, coal and copper. In fact, the state is the largest producer of iron ore in the country and also copper ore. Jharkhand is the third largest producer of coal in the country.

Ranchi is capital of Jharkhand. Jamshedpur, Deoghar, Dhanbad are major cities of the state. The state also has some prestigious educational institutions in the country including the likes of XLRI, IIM Ranchi, National Institute of Technology and Birla Institute of Technology. The state also has a host of medical colleges. Naxalite insurgency is the one problem that the state has yet to solve.

Holi

It was believed Hiranyakashipu a hard hearted and evil King decided to kill his own son as he refused to worship him. He asked his sister 'Holika', who was immune to fire, to sit on a pyre of fire with Prahalad in her lap. Actually they plan to burn Prahalad. But their plan did not go through as Prahalad who was reciting the name of Lord Vishnu throughout was safe, but Holika got burnt to ashes. The defeat of Holika signifies the burning of all that is bad. After this, Lord Vishnu killed Hiranyakashipu. It is actually the death of Holika that is associated with Holi.
