Long ago, the demon king Hiranyakashipu demanded that everyone worship him as a god.
But his own son Prahlada refused.
Prahlad believed only in Vishnu.
Furious, the king tried many times to kill him.
Finally, he asked his sister Holika, who had a boon that fire could not burn her.
She sat in a blazing pyre with Prahlad in her lap.
But the boon failed because it was used for evil.
Holika burned in the fire…
and Prahlad emerged unharmed.
This is why, every year, we light the sacred fire of Holika Dahan — reminding us that faith and truth always triumph over arrogance and evil.
