== Architecture and history ==<br />
In the Past, [[Hardoi]] was the city of [[Hiranyakashipu]] and He was a traitor of [[Hari]](God), so he named his City as Haridrohi. His son [[Prahlada|Prahlad]] was a devotee of Lord [[Hari]] and in order to kill him, [[Hiranyakashipu]] had set up his sister [[Holika]] in the fire. Holika had a boon that she would not burn by fire. Holika had to pay the price of her sinister desire by her life. Holika was not aware that the boon worked only when she entered the fire alone. [[Prahlada|Prahlad]], who kept chanting the name of Lord [[Narayana|Naarayana]] all this while, came out unharmed, as the lord blessed him for his extreme devotion.<br />
As an evidence there is a prahlad ghat in [[Hardoi]].<br />
<br />
== Festivals ==<br />
[[Holi]] is the biggest festival celebrated at and nearby the ghat. People gather and remember the legendary historic story of bhakt Prahlad and Holika and start the celebration of Holi festival from here.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.niranarsingpur.in/p/history.html#.WYNQrYTyupo|title=Nira Narsingpur website|website=www.niranarsingpur.in}}</ref><br />
