About Mahavatar Narsimha
Mahavatar Narsimha tells the tale of Hiranyakashipu, the demon king, who challenges Lord Vishnu and considers himself a god after amassing great strength. Conflict between father and son results from his son Prahlad's continued devotion to Vishnu. In order to overcome Hiranyakashipu and save Prahlad, Vishnu takes on the half-lion, half-man form of Narasimha.
