There are many stories of Falguna Purnima but the story given in Narad Purana is considered very important. The story given in the Narada Purana is the story of the burning of the demon king Hiranyakashipu and his sister the demon Holika.

According to legend, Hiranyakashipu sent his eldest son, Prahlad, who was a devotee of Lord Vishnu, to his sister to bathe in the fire.
