Story of Prahlad and Holika

The story of Prahlad and Holika is one of Hindu mythology's most powerful tales of devotion triumphing over tyranny. It illustrates that sincere faith in the divine cannot be conquered by any worldly power. Prahlad's fearless devotion despite his father's cruelty became the model of bhakti (devotion) for all Hindu traditions. The burning of Holika is commemorated every year as Holika Dahan, the bonfire night before Holi, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.
