legend of holi
According to the legend, there was a demon king named Hiranyakashipu in ancient times. He boasted and claimed to be God. Hiranyakashipu banned taking the name of God in the state. But Hiranyakashipu’s son Prahlad was a devotee of the Lord. On the other hand, Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, had the boon of not getting burnt in the fire. Once Hiranyakashipu ordered Holika to sit in the fire with Prahlad in her lap. But when she sat in the fire, Holika got burnt and Prahlad survived. And since then Holika Dahan started being done in the memory of Prahlad, the devotee of God.
