chhoti holi main we burn holika basically burning our bad deeds in the holi fire and pray for good to prevail over bad! badi holi is for playing and merriment...

there is a whole story of prahlad and holika!

The festival of Holi marks the triumph of good over evil and is celebrated for two days. The evening before Holi is known as Holika Dahan or Chhoti Holi during which people light a bonfire to signify the burning of the demon Holika..

As per Hindu mythology, demon king Hiranyakashyap was given a reward which gave him the power to not be killed by either a man or any animal, hence, he wanted to be worshiped by people. His son Prahlad, however, was a devotee of Lord Vishnu.

Being angry at the fact that his son didn’t worship him, king Hiranyakashyap asked his sister, demon Holika to sit in a pyre while holding his son. While sitting one fire, Holika died, but Prahlad was saved by Lord Vishnu, who later took the avatar of Narasimha- a half human and half lion and killed the demon king.

Holika was given a blanket to save her from the fire but the blanket miraculously went of prahlad and the fire burned Holika instead!
