There was a demon king named hiranyakashyap who wanted to be worshipped as a god. He will punish the person who tries to oppose him or reject to worship him, everybody starts worshiping him out of fear but his own son was a devotee of Lord Vishnu and know his father's evil intention, this makes hiranyakashyap angry so he decided to kill him.
He asks his sister to execute his son as she was immune to fire. As his brother's command, she agreed; she sat on burning fire with her nephew. Prahlad started chanting Lord Vishnu's name, so lord Vishnu saved him and Holika burn to death.
following this, Holi celebrated as a victory of good over evil.
