Holika had a boon that fire could not harm her, so Holika prepared Holika with wood and sat in it with the child Prahlad, but devotee Prahlad kept chanting Lord Vishnu’s name continuously, due to which he received the blessings of Lord Vishnu and he came out of that fire safely, but Holika was burnt to death in that fire, due to which people celebrate this festival every year.
