Holika Dahana (Sanskrit: होलिकादहन, romanized: Holikādahana, lit. 'Burning of Holika'), is a Hindu festival in which a bonfire is lit to celebrate the burning of the demoness - Holika[2]. This ritual is symbolic of victory of good over evil.[3] It precedes Holi, the festival of colours, which celebrates the spring season.[4] According to legend, Holika was the sister of Hiranyakashipu, who acquired a boon that rendered her invulnerable to fire. She then attempted to kill her nephew, Prahlada, by placing him on her lap in a bonfire. However, she was immolated while Prahlada was saved from the fire.[3]
