Narasimha | Avatar, Protector & Incarnation
Narasimha's power is the protection of devotees, particularly Prahlada, through his fierce half-man, half-lion form.
Origin
नर (nara) - man + सिंह (simha) - lion; Man-lion avatar of Vishnu.
Description
Narasimha is one of the 10 avatars of Vishnu. To defeat the demon Hiranyakashipu, who was granted a boon of invincibility, Vishnu emerged from a pillar in the form of a man-lion. The demon's son, Prahlada, a devoted follower of Vishnu, faced threats from his father. Narasimha's iconic depictions show him appearing from the pillar or ripping open the demon's belly, showcasing his leonine features.
