#Holika was a demoness in Hindu Vedic scriptures, who was burnt to death with the help of God #Vishnu. She was the sister of King #Hiranyakashipu and aunt of #Prahlad. The story of #HolikaDahan signifies the triumph of good over evil.
As per According to Image
#Bhagavat Purana,a king named #Hiranyakashipu who, like many demons and #Asuras, had the intense desire to be immortal. To fulfill this desire, he performed the required #Tapas or penances until he was granted a boon by #Brahma. Image
Since the Gods rarely granted immortality, he used his guile and cunning to get a boon that he thought made him immortal. The boon gave #Hiranyakashipu five special powers.
he could be killed by neither a human being nor an animal, neither indoors nor outdoors, Image
neither at day nor at night, neither by #astra projectile weapons nor by any shastra (handheld weapons), and neither on land nor in water or air. As this wish was granted, Banjan felt invincible, which made him arrogant. ImageImage
Hiranyakashipu decreed that only he be worshiped as a God, punished & killed any1 who did not accept his orders.
His son #Prahlad disagreed with his father, & refused to worship his father as a god. He continued believing & worshipping Lord #Vishnu.

A stone and a coin from the era of #Shriram !
#Rameshwaram, the pilgrim place is situated on the east coast of the state of #Tamilnadu. Eleven kilometres to its south is a city called #Dhanushkodi. The proximal part of
#Ramsethu is called #Dhanushkodi (meaning the tip of a bow) because 17.5 lakh years ago #Shriram had selected this spot as the site to construct a bridge to enter #Srilanka (Lanka of #Ravan), using the tip of His heavy bow. Image
Even today we can see shrubs in a row on huge boulders as remnants of the bridge. The #Ramsethu is a unique architectural wonder of #Nal amd #Neel. Image
