Hiranyakashipu was a powerful king who was blessed with a boon that made him virtually indestructible. He demanded that everyone worship him as a god.

However, his son Prahlad was a devout follower of Vishnu and refused to worship his father.

This angered Hiranyakashipu, and he thus decided to kill Prahlad. From poisoning his son’s food to pushing him off a mountain peak, he tried many things. But Prahlad always survived the attempts thanks to Vishnu.

Finally, Hiranyakashipu turned to his sister Holika for help. Holika had a boon which made her immune to fire.

On the night of the full moon, Holika took Prahlad in her lap and sat on a pyre. However, things went for a toss!

Prahlad survived the fire, but Holika was burnt to ashes. Vishnu had saved his devotee’s life yet again. Eventually, Hiranyakashipu was slayed by Narasimha, a half-man and half-lion avatar of Vishnu.

The story of Holika is a reminder of the triumph of good over evil and the power of devotion and celebrated every year as Holi.
