Lord Narasimha's Appearance Day!

So, the Lord appeared in half-man, half-lion form and killed Hiranyakashipu with His nails at twilight while satisfying all the conditions. Narasimhadeva appeared at dusk on the Shukla Chaturdashi (the fourteenth day of the bright fortnight) in the month of Vaishakha (May). Devotees fast till dusk (6.58 PM IST) on this day.
