Holika

But there's one attempt you should know about, because you actually celebrate it every single year.

Wait, I celebrate it? Hiranyakshivu had a sister named Holika.

And Holika had a special gift.

Fire couldn't burn her.

So the plan was simple.

Holika would sit in a giant bonfire, holding Prahlad in her lap, and the fire would take him, but not her.

Oh, that's such a sneaky, terrible plan.

It was.
