Why Holika Dehen was celebrated in India?

-

 Holika Dahan is a Hindu festival that is celebrated on the night before Holi, which is the festival of colors. The festival is also known as Chhoti Holi or Small Holi. It is celebrated with great enthusiasm in many parts of India.



The festival has its roots in Hindu mythology. According to legend, there was a king named Hiranyakashipu who had obtained a boon from Lord Brahma that made him virtually indestructible. The king became very arrogant and ordered his subjects to worship him instead of the gods. However, his son Prahlad was a devout follower of Lord Vishnu, and the king could not tolerate this.

Hiranyakashipu tried various ways to kill Prahlad but failed every time. Finally, he asked his sister Holika, who had a boon that made her immune to fire, to enter a burning pyre with Prahlad on her lap. However, due to Prahlad's devotion to Lord Vishnu, he was saved, and Holika was burned to death.

The festival of Holika Dahan commemorates the victory of good over evil and the triumph of devotion over arrogance. On this day, people light bonfires to symbolize the burning of Holika, and they also perform puja (worship) to seek blessings for a happy and prosperous life. It is also believed that the fire of the bonfire has purifying powers and can ward off evil spirits.

The next day, which is Holi, people celebrate by smearing each other with colored powder and water, singing and dancing, and enjoying traditional delicacies. Holi is a time of joy and merrymaking, and people of all ages and backgrounds participate in the festivities.
