Lord Narasimha is worshipped as a fierce avatar of lord Vishnu who incarnates with a human torso and lower body with a lion face and claws. It is said that demon Hiranyakashipu had gained special powers by which he could not be killed during the day or night, inside or outside the house, neither in sky nor on land nor in heaven, by any weapon, and by man, god, asura or animal. Therefore to kill this demon, Lord Vishnu took Narasimha avatar and killed the demon on his laps, thus countering each and every gifted power of the demon.
