5200 years old tradition still alive in Phalain village
After Holika comes out of the flames, not even an ‘uff’ comes out of her mouth, her body does not get burnt at all. This scene was seen in Mathura at 4 am on Tuesday morning. Whoever saw this scene was surprised. More than 50 thousand people from India and abroad started cheering for Banke-Bihari.
5200 years old tradition which is celebrated on the night of Holika Dahan in Phalain village, about 50 km from the district headquarters. The belief behind this tradition is that Hiranyakashyap’s sister Holika had tried to burn devotee Prahlad, but she could not succeed in doing so.
The grace of Lord Prahlad is behind this miracle.
Sanju Panda, who follows this tradition, said that I am absolutely right. It’s all due to Prahlad ji’s grace, he is behind this miracle. During this, he told that, the beginning of following this tradition starts 45 days in advance.
During the fast, celibacy is followed and fruits are consumed only once in the whole day. Prahlad Maharaj is worshiped with gold in the temple itself.
He also told that the person observing this fast does not hold the tail of the cow. He used to drink as much water as he could hold in the palm of his hand at one go. Did not go outside the village. He used to sleep by placing his bed on the ground. Did not use any item made of leather.

Panda Sanju’s brother explained the belief behind the tradition
Panda Sanju’s brother told that, centuries ago, a garland had appeared from the Prahlad Kund of the village. This garland remains inside the temple only. It is believed that this is the same garland which was around the neck of Prahlad ji. There were 7 big beads in this rosary. Later Mouni Baba made a rosary of 108 beads from these 7 beads.
Many generations chant with this rosary a month in advance. On the occasion of Holika Dahan, Prahlad is able to pass through the flames only after wearing this garland after taking bath in the pond. He also told that, my brother Sanju used to chant with this rosary for 6-6 hours in the morning and evening.
