Importance of Holi Dahan 2025
Holi Dahan is celebrated throughout India with great devotion, faith and belief. It represents the ultimate triumph of good over evil, as portrayed in the story of Prahlad and Holika. As per the Hindu mythology, King Hiranyakashipu, a demon king, disliked that his son Prahlad praised and had much faith in Lord Vishnu. To kill him, he asked for help from his sister Holika, who had a boon to be safe from fire.
