Learn how demonic Holika Devi became –
According to mythology, Holika was a goddess in his previous life. He was born in the demon clan due to curse from the sage. Holika was suffering from the curse he got by the sage after being born in the demon clan. It was only after the burning of the fire that she was freed from the curse of the sage. Holika was purified by burning in the fire. This is the reason that even after Holika is demonic, she is worshiped on the day of Holika Dahan.
Actually, worship of Lord Vishnu was forbidden in the kingdom of Daityaraja Hiranyakashyap, but Prahlada, son of Hiranyakashyap, was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu. Hiranyakashyap did not like the worship of Lord Vishnu performed by Prahlada. Due to this, he made several attempts to kill his son. In the end, he told his sister Holika to sit on the fire with Prahlada, but by the grace of Narayan, Prahlada survived and Holika was burnt.
