Holashtak Remedy: Holika Dahan is performed every year on the full moon day of Phalgun month. Then the next morning Holi is played with colours, but before the holy and joyous festival of Holi, Holashtak is celebrated. Holashtak is considered to be those eight days when Prahlad, a great devotee of Lord Shri Hari Vishnu, the creator of the world, was tortured at the behest of his father Hiranyakashyap to kill him.
