holika was not an evil woman! where did you get that idea from?
Prahalad was the one to believe in God and the King at the time said that there was no higher power than he. so he challenged that his daughter holika could sit in the fire with Prahalad and not get burned, but Prahalad would.....in the end it was Holika that paid the price....not Prahalad.
that is why you throw red dust in the air at pagwah...to signify her blood spilling.
