A famous tale centers around an arrogant and powerful demon king, Hiranyakashipu, and his son Prahlad. In a bid to kill Prahlad, Hiranyakashipu conspired with his sister, Holika, to burn him alive. But through divine intervention, Prahlad was unharmed, while Holika perished in the flames. The legend symbolizes the victory of good over evil, a theme central to Holi celebrations. (time.com)
