The Mythological Narrative:

According to Hindu mythology, Holi finds its roots in the tale of Holika, the sister of King Hiranyakashipu. Prahlad, the king's devout son, refused to worship his father and instead remained dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Enraged by Prahlad's devotion, Hiranyakashipu conspired with Holika to end his son's life.

Holika, believed to be immune to fire, sat on a pyre with Prahlad in her lap. However, divine intervention saw Holika perish in the flames while Prahlad emerged unscathed, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. This triumph of righteousness is commemorated annually as Holi.
