 Thestory of Holika Dahan during Holi festival is associated with Prahlad, King Hiranyakashipu, and Holika. The demoness Holika was the sister of Hiranyakashipu, who was an ardent devotee of Lord Brahma. By pleasing Brahma Deva, Hiranyakashipu got his life wish of being immortal. He got the boon that he will not be killed by any man or animal, during day or night, in his home or outside, not with any astra or shastra, he will not die either in air, land or in the sea. With the attainment of his wish he became self-righteous and considered himself as God. He wanted his people to worship him. Those who neglect to obey him are killed with no mercy. Everyone with fear obeyed him except his son Prahlada. Prahlad was a great devotee of Lord Vishnufrom his childhood and he refused to worship his father Hiranyakasipu instead of Vishnu. This made the king angry towards his son and ordered his solders to kill him with no mercy. But his soldiers were incapable of killing Prahlad as he was always protected by the great hands of Mahavishnu. As a last hope the king reached Holika his sister to help him in killing his son. 

Holika was very happy to accept the request of her brother and planned to kill Prahlada with her power. Holika had a special gift that prevented her from being harmed by the fire God Agni. By preparing a bonfire Hiranyakashipu asked Holika to sit with his son Prahlad in her lap in the hope that he will become a victim to fire. Without any fear of death Prahlada started chanting the mantras of Lord Vishnu. To everyone’s surprise Prahlad come out of the fire without any single burn in his body and Holika was seen burnt to death in the bonfire.

Since then, the night before Holi is celebrated as Holika Dahan. Hindus build bonfire with woods and lit them in the memory of burning of demon Holika. Holi symbolizes the victory and devotion of Prahlada – or simply the success of good over evil.

The 2020 Holika Dahan Date is on 9 March.

• 'The issue that needs to be addressed is that of vacation of the territories illegally and forcibly occupied by Pakistan,' said Indian foreign ministry spokesman
• The comments come against the backdrop of some remarks made by the UN Secretary General António Guterres who is on a visit to Pakistan.

NewDelhi India on Sunday rejected any scope for third party mediation to resolve the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan.

In a statement, Indian foreign ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar said:"Jammu and Kashmir has been, is and will continue to be an integral part of India. The issue that needs to be addressed is that of vacation of the territories illegally and forcibly occupied by Pakistan. Further issues, if any, would be discussed bilaterally. There is no role or scope for third party mediation."

Th comments come against the backdrop of some remarks made by the UN Secretary General António Guterres who is on a visit to Pakistan.

In his remarks, Guterres had expressed concern over increasing tensions between India and Pakistan as well as over alleged human rights violations in Kashmir, news reports said.

“We hope the UN Secretary General would emphasise on the imperative for Pakistan to take credible, sustained and irreversible action to put an end to cross-border terrorism against India, which threatens the most fundamental human right - the right to life, of the people of India, including in Jammu and Kashmir," Kumar said.

Guterres who arrived in Islamabad on Sunday, met Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi. The UN chief is on a four-day visit to Pakistan during which he will attend an international conference on Afghan refugees and visit Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib.

In remarks to the press, Guterres is reported to have said that it was important for India and Pakistan to de-escalate "militarily and verbally" and exercise "maximum restraint."

 Addressinga press conference after his meeting with Qureshi, the UN Secretary-General said he was "deeply concerned" over the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and tensions along the Line of Control, news reports from Pakistan said.

He said he was ready to help if both countries agreed for mediation.

"Diplomacy and dialogue remain the only tools that guarantee peace and stability with solutions in accordance with the Charter of United Nations and resolutions of the Security Council," Guterres said.

The UN chief said he had "repeatedly stressed on the importance of exercising maximum restraint".

"I offered my good offices from the beginning. I am ready to help if both countries agree for mediation," he said.
