Lord Narasimha Puja - the 4th incarnate of Lord Vishnu is perhaps considered as the most intense incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He is widely revered by everyone in Vaishanism. His manifestation is that of half man and half lion. The incarnation of Lord Vishnu was such so that he could kill the demon and evil king Hiranayakashpo and made the young Prince Prahlad the king to restore Dharma back to the world. The Narasimha avtar of Lord Vishnu was manifested because of the boon that the demon king garnered. Narasimha Puja is mainly done to celebrate the good over evil and the puja is done to create the awareness that however big or dark our enemy is the one ray of hope and a spark of light can destroy the enemy. The legend of Hiranayakashchapo and Prahlad is known and told by one and all in every household and to every child. It is tale of strength and valour and honesty and truth and above all the devotion and dedication.
