He had a boon that whatever auspicious work would be done in Bhadra, there would be obstacles in it. There will be financial, mental and physical losses.

According to the legend, demon king Hiranyakashyap wanted everyone to worship him instead of Lord Vishnu, but his son Prahlad was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. Despite many attempts to kill Prahlad, God protected Prahlad every time.
Hiranyakashyap’s sister Holika was blessed that fire would never destroy even her hair. This is the reason why he tricked Prahlad into sitting in the burning fire with him, but Prahlad was saved by Shri Hari but Holika was burnt to ashes.
