Hiranyakashipu tried many times to kill Prahlada, but each time Prahlada was saved because of his strong faith in Lord Vishnu. Holika, the sister of Hiranyakashipu, had a special blessing that made her immune to fire. The king planned to use her power to kill Prahlada. He ordered Holika to sit in a blazing fire while holding Prahlada in her lap, believing that she would survive and Prahlada would burn to death.
