What is the story of Mahavatar Narsimha?
Mahavatar Narsimha revolves around the story of Narsimha. For the unversed, Narsimha was the fourth avatara of the Hindu god Vishnu. The story dives into a world that is ruled by Demigods and Demons. This is where the asura king Hiranyakashyap is on the mission to avenge his brother Hiranyaksha who was killed by Lord Vishnu in his Varaha avatar. In his pursuit of revenge, Hiranyakashyap asks for penance from Lord Brahma, which not only makes him powerful, but also gives him an immortal life. This further helps him to rule over heaven, earth, and hell. Thereby, declaring himself a God. However, his five-year-old son Prahlad stands in stark contrast to what he embodied. This hints at faith towards Lord Vishnu. Irked and angry by his son’s beliefs, Hiranyakashyap tries to kill his son several times, but fails.
