Sri Narasimha — the fierce compassion of Bhagwan Vishnu.
Within the sacred tradition of Jagannath worship, Narasimha reminds us that whenever Dharma is threatened, the Divine appears to protect the devotee. His form is fierce to evil, yet infinitely compassionate to those who surrender.
At the Jagannath Temple in Kolkata, Sri Narasimha is revered as a powerful protective manifestation of Vishnu. Narasimha—the Man-Lion form—symbolises the destruction of adharma and the protection of devotees.
