Narasimha Jayanti Significance

Narasimha Jayanti is an important occasion for the Hindus as it is the day the deity Vishnu assumed his fourth avatar in the form of a ‘man-lion’, known as Narasimha to vanquish the oppressive asura king Hiranyakashipu and protect his devotee Prahlada. Vaishakha Shukla Chaturdashi is celebrated as Narasimha Jayanti. The legend of Narasimha represents the victory of knowledge over ignorance and the protection offered by God to his devotees. The rules and guidelines for observing Narasimha Jayanti fasting are similar to those of Ekadashi fasting.
