Holi festivals are held as a celebration of the victory of good over evil. In that ancient period, there was a devil king, Hiranyakashyap, who forced everyone in his kingdom to worship him, but his son Prahlad, who was a pure devotee of Lord Vishnu did not pray for his father.

Hiranyakashyap threatened his son to stop praying for Lord Vishnu. I tried to kill his son many times but couldn’t do so. Instead, he asked for help from his wicked sister Holika. Holika possessed a unique power to be immune to fire. So, to kill Prahlada, she entered a burning fire with Prahlad in her lap. Unaware of the holy blessing from Lord Vishnu, it burned her to ash instead.
