Asur raja Hiranyakashipu ke putra Prahlad ki atal Vishnu bhakti aur Holika ke ant ki katha (Bhagwat Puran parampara).
Ahankari raja
Hiranyakashipu ne vardaan paakar khud ko bhagwan ghoshit kar diya aur Vishnu ki puja par rok laga di. Par uska apna putra Prahlad har pal "Narayan" ka naam japta tha.
Kai pareekshaayein
Raja ne Prahlad ko pahaad se girwaya, haathi se kuchalwaya, saanpon ke beech chhoda — par har baar Narayan ne bachcha liya. Ant mein usne apni behan Holika ko bulaya, jise agni mein na jalne wali chaadar ka vardaan tha.
Agni mein satya
Holika Prahlad ko god mein lekar chita par baith gayi. Hawa chali, chaadar udkar Prahlad par aa gayi — Holika jal gayi aur Prahlad surakshit nikle. Isi ki yaad mein Holika Dahan hota hai, aur agle din khushi mein rang khele jaate hain.
Kab padhein / sunein
Phalguna Purnima — Holika Dahan ki shaam.
Vrat / Puja vidhi
- Shubh (Bhadra rahit) muhurat mein Holika ki puja karein — roli, akshat, phool, kachcha soot, gud aur naye anaaj ki baaliyaan.
- Kachcha soot lapet kar 3 ya 7 parikrama karein.
- Agni mein naye gehun/jau ki baali bhoon kar prasad baantein.
Katha ki seekh
Sachchi bhakti ki raksha Bhagwan swayam karte hain; ahankaar ka ant nishchit hai.
Srot / adhikaar: Bhajan Dhun (Puranon / lok-parampara par aadharit punarkathan)
Kathaayein kshetra aur parampara ke anusaar thodi alag ho sakti hain. Vrat ke niyam apne parivaar ki parampara ya purohit ji se bhi poochh lein.
