Hiranyakashipu became all-powerful along with his brother. With the powers bestowed by Brahma, the creator of the worlds, the two began to conquer all the three realms and set eyes on heaven. Lord Vishnu vanquished Hiranyaksha in the avatar of a varaha (boar). This day is celebrated as Varaha Jayanti.

But the Gods were unable to defeat Hiranyakashipu because of the boon. During this period, Hiranyakashipu was blessed with a son Prahalad who turned out to be a firm devotee of Lord Narayana.

In spite of Hiranyakashipu’s best efforts, his son continued to idolize Lord Vishnu. Because of his devotion, Lord Narayana didn’t allow any harm to come to Prahlad. Enraged by his devotion, Hiranyakashipu decided to burn his son and kill him. He asked his sister Holika to sit with Prahlad on her lap when he is set on fire. The legend goes that Holika was blessed with a special cloth (Shawl), which protected her from any fire. When the flames soared, the divine cloth covering Holika slipped and ended up protecting Prahlad from the fire. Prahlad was saved and Holika was burnt to death. The day is observed as Holika Dahan on the eve of the festival of colours, Holi.

Angered by the failure of his plans and loss of his sister, Hiranyakashipu challenged Prahlad to prove the existence of his God. Prahlad replied that Lord Vishnu is everywhere and in everything, even in the pillars of the palace. Hiranyakashipu struck one of the pillars in a fit of rage when Lord Vishnu emerged in the terrifying form of Narasimha. Lord Vishnu killed Hiranyakashipu in this fearsome avatar and the day is celebrated as Narasimha Jayanti.
