Holika

Holika was a demoness in Hindu mythology,she had a boon not to be burnt in fire.Holika sat with Prahlad in fire. Prahlad came out unhurt and Holika tuned into ashes.Holi is thus celebrated to commemorate the death of the evil Holika, after whom the festival is named, and the new life granted to Prahlad for his devotion and faith.Thus,the religious significance of the festival of Holi is to mark the burning of self-conceit, selfishness, greed, lust and hatred.The victory of righteous forces over demoniacal forces.
