Holidaily Importance

Deeply ingrained in Hindu mythology, Holi celebrates the triumph of Prahlad, the devotee of Lord Vishnu, over his aunt Holika, a demon who attempted to burn him alive. Because of Prahlad's unshakable faith in Lord Vishnu, he was spared from the fire, and Holika perished. Holika Dahan, or the burning of Holika on the eve of Holi, represents the victory of good over evil.
