The story behind Holika Dahan 2022
By lighting the bonfire on the occasion of Holika Dahan, people celebrate the triumph of Bhakt Prahlad's faith in the Lord, over the evil intentions of his father Hiranyakashipu and his aunt Holika.
King Hiranyakashipu wanted to kill his son Bhakt Prahlad, as he disagrees to become King's devotee and consider him as the Lord. Hiranyakashipu asked his sister Holika to kill Prahlad. Holika possessed a shawl that protects her from fire. She lures Prahlad to sit with her in a huge bonfire. Holika tried to cover herself with the shawl, but miraculously, the shawl flew away and covered Prahlad, exposing Holika to fire. Thus Lord Vishnu saved Prahlad, and Holika was burnt to death.
