King Hiranyakashipu called himself a God and made people to pray for him only. He and his sister Holika were evil
and cruel.
But king’s son Prahlad didn’t pray for his father and prayed Lord Vishnu. The king was very angry with Prahlad and
tried to kill him many times. Lord Vishnu was very fond of Prahlad. He protected Prahlad many times.
One day, the angry king told his sister Holika to take Prahlad in his lap and sit on a fire. Holika wrapped herself in
a shawl which was protecting her from burning.
However, Lord Vishnu saved Prahlad this time also. Nothing happened to Prahlad but a strong wind came and blew
away Holika’s shawl. And holika burnt in fire.
So every year bonfire is made which is also called as Holika Dahan (burning) to burn away evil things and praying for
good things.
