King
Hiranyakashyapu
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 for Lord Vishnu. The king
Was
very angry 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 the 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
