Finally, he asked his sister, "Holika" to enter a dazzling fire with Prahlad in her lap. For, Hiranyakashyap knew that Holika had a blessing, whereby, she could enter the fire unharmed.
Holika influenced young Prahlad to sit in her lap and she herself took her seat in fire. The story has it that Holika had to pay the price of her sinister desire by her life. Holika was not aware that the blessing worked only when she entered the fire alone. Prahlad, who kept chanting the name of Lord Vishnu all this while, came out unharmed,. Thus, Holi derives its name from Holika. And, is celebrated as a festival of victory of good over evil.
