mythology
According to mythology, in ancient times there was a very powerful king named Hiranyakashyap, who did not believe in God at all. But his son Prahlad was a great devotee of Shri Vishnu. One day Hiranyakashipu, fed up with Prahlad, asked his sister Holika to sit in the fire with Prahlad to kill him, but even after Holika got the boon of not getting burnt in the fire, she got burnt in the fire and devotee Prahlad was saved. It was only after this victory of good over evil that the festival of Holika Dahan started being celebrated.
