Holika Dahan symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Chhoti Holi celebrations are linked to the legends of Hiranyakashipu and his son Prahlada. Holika Dahan celebrates the legend of the burning of Holika, an asuri, upon a burning pyre and the salvation of her nephew, Prahlada. On this day, people gather around a bonfire and perform various rituals. In North India, this day is known as Holika Dahan, whereas in other parts like Purvanchal and Terai regions of Nepal, it is called Sammat Jaama.

Hiranyakashipu was a strong opponent of Lord Vishnu, whereas his son worshipped Lord Vishnu wholeheartedly. Therefore, Hrianyakashyap decided to kill his son with the help of his sister Holika. She had a cloak gifted by Lord Brahma which would protect her from fire. She invited Prahlad to join her in the fire and used the shawl to shield herself from the fire. Prahlad prayed to Lord Vishnu, who appeared at the scene, blowing Holika's cloak and protecting Prahlad with it. Holika was then consumed in flames.
