Narasimha Jayanti, a deeply revered day in the Hindu calendar, marks the divine incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu as Narasimha, the man-lion. This incarnation is celebrated for its embodiment of the power and protection of the Divine, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. Narasimha Jayanti 2025 is celebrated on May 10 with fasting and special prayers. The festival highlights devotion triumphing over evil and offers spiritual benefits to devotees. Hindus regard this as 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. Narasimha Jayanti 2025 celebrates the birth of Lord Narasimha, a half-man, half-lion form of Vishnu, on May 11. Devotees fast and pray for blessings.
