The Legend of Prahlad and Holika

As per Hindu mythology, the demon king Hiranyakashipu sought to slay his son Prahlad for his worship of Lord Vishnu. He requested that his sister Holika, who had a boon to be fireproof, sit with Prahlad amidst the fire. But Holika got charred, and Prahlad was unscathed, indicating the strength of devotion and virtue.
