As per the mythological belief, the festival of Holi is celebrated to commemorate the tale of Prahlad and Hiranyakashyap. The latter was a demon king who was blessed with a boon from Lord Vishnu that he could never be killed by a human or an animal, during day or night, inside or outside and neither on the ground nor above. In his pride, Hiranyakashyap said that only he should be worshipped and not god. On the other hand, his own son Prahlad was a true devotee and worshipper of Lord Vishnu. This devotion of Prahlad made the demon king infuriated. In this rage, he asked Prahlad to jump off a mountain, Prahlad did the same while chanting the name of Lord Vishnu and remained unhurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this, Hiranyakashayp made a few other attempts as well to harm Prahlad such as poisoning him, ordering wild elephants to trample him, and putting him in a room of venomous and angry snakes. But all his attempts failed. Finally, he asked his sister Holika to sit on a pyre. Hollika sat on the pyre with Prahlad. She wore a shawl that could not be burnt so that only Prahlad would get burned. However, they flew from her to Prahlad to protect him while Hollika was killed in the fire. After this incident, Lord Vishnu appeared on earth in a half-human half-animal avatar and ripped apart the body of Hiranyakashyap at dusk on his porch steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day before Holi, people perform Hollika Dahan (Burning of Hollika) by lit up a bonfire with the belief of burning bad energy in it. Thus, to remember this triumph of good over evil, we celebrate the festival of Holi every year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
