Narasimha Jayanti 2022 Date & Time:
On the day of Narasimha Jayanti, worship is done in the evening. The reason behind this is that the demon Hiranyakashipu had a boon that he cannot be killed by any prahar, land, air, sky, fire and no human, deity, animal and bird. So Lord Vishnu took Narasimha avatar to save his devotee Prahlad and he came out tearing a pillar. Along with this, he killed Hiranyakashipu by keeping his thighs in the threshold. Along with this, the time for slaughter was chosen between the end of the day and the beginning of the evening. For this reason, worshipping Lord Narasimha in the evening is considered auspicious.
