Mythological Stories Associated with Holi:
Several mythological stories related to Holi are mentioned in the Puranas. Holika Dahan is celebrated to symbolize the victory of good over evil. According to one legend, Prahlad, the son of the demon king Hiranyakashipu, was a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu, which displeased his father. Hiranyakashipu sought the help of his sister Holika, who had a boon that fire could not harm her. Holika took Prahlad into her lap and entered the fire with the intention of killing him. However, due to Prahlad's devotion, Holika was consumed by the fire while Prahlad remained unharmed. Holi is also celebrated in memory of the divine love of Radha and Krishna.
