The Holika Dahan is done to mark the victory of good over evil. The story behind the celebration of Holi is as follows. There was an evil king named Hiranyakashipu, he had become indestructible due to a boon as a result of his strict prayers to Lord Brahma. He started giving himself the place of God. He was against Lord Vishnu and tortured whoever in his reign tried to pray and follow him. He considered himself the lord of the universe. The irony of the fact was that this own son was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. He became so furious that he tried to kill his own son many times but in vain. One night, he made a plan and tried to murder his own son by the means of burning him. He asked his sister Holika, who had a flame shielding shawl granted to her by the lords to make him sit in her lap inside the bonfire. As soon as she sat in their, she was burnt to death and Prahlad escaped due to the constant blessings of Lord Vishnu. Thus, the Lord saved his devotee and eventually also killed the evil king in his Narasimha Avatar.
