Hiranyakashyap's sister, Holika, had a boon that made her immune to fire. She tried to use this boon to kill Prahlad by tricking him into sitting on her lap while she sat in a burning fire. However, the fire did not harm Prahlad, and Holika was consumed by the flames. The triumph of good over evil is celebrated on the first day of Holi, known as Holika Dahan.
