Aren't these hilarious? But jokes apart, do you actually know the very inspiring story behind the celebration of Holi? Well, we are here to tell you. Hiranyakashipu, a king in ancient India wanted to avenge the death of his younger brother who was killed by Lord Vishnu. So he prayed for years to get a boon of remaining undefeated, which he finally received. But with this Hiranyakashipu started considering himself no less than the god and asked his people to worship him. His young son Prahlad turned to be a great devotee of Lord Vishnu and therefore he decided to kill his own son, as he had refused to worship him. Hiranyakashipu asked his sister Holika, who was immune to fire due to a boon, to sit on a pyre of fire with Prahlad in her lap. His plan was to burn Prahlad. But due to his determination and faith in the lord he was safe and instead Holika was burnt to ashes.
