Narsimha Chaturdashi Festival, 11-May-2025

Narasimha Chaturdashi Festival : Narasimha Chaturdashi is the divine appearance day of Narasimhadeva, the Narasimha incarnation of Lord Krishna, who with his immense compassion removes all obstacles in the path of devotion.
One can worship Lord Narasimha on the occasion of Narasimha Chaturdashi. The purpose behind this special puja is to pray to the Lord to guide all of us during difficult times, just like he guided Prahlad.



Hiranyakashipu, a demon controlling the three world, was extremely proud and he hated Lord Vishnu. But little Prahlada, his five year old son, was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. Therefore, Hiranyakashipu tried to kill Prahlada in several ways; but failed in all his attempts because of the protection given by Lord to his dear devotee. Finally when Hiranyakashipu asked his little son where the Lord resides, Prahlada replied that the Lord resides everywhere. Mocking this response, Hiranyakashipu broke a pillar in his palace, and the Lord appeared from that pillar in his half man-half lion incarnation – Narasimha. Lord Narasimha is therefore worshipped by the devotees as their Supreme protector and they also pray that He vanquishes all obstacles they may face on the path of devotional service. So it is with much enthusiasm that the devotees come to together to worship the Lord on this day of His appearance in the material world.
