Holi festival story
According to legend
past story, Hiranyakashyap was the powerful king. He thought he is a God and
wanted that everyone worship him like God. While his son Prahlad not following
the orders of his father and refused to worship him and started worshiping of
Lord Vishnu instead the place of his father. That’s why Hiranyakashyap angered
by this and gave many punishments to Prahlad.
After that, Hiranyakashyap and his sister Holika together make a danger plan for finish the life of Prahlad. In this plan Holika (Hiranyakashyap’s sister) would sit on the pyre with Prahlad. Holika had a garment that she did not cause any kind of damage to the fire, but Prahlad did not have anything to save himself. He believe only in one thing “faith in lord Vishnu”.
