Narsimha Jayanti is one of the important festivals to the Hindus who live in India. This festival is celebrated on Chaturdashi in Vishakha masam in the Shukla Paksha. Narasimha avatharam is the fourth avatar of Lord Vishnu . In this avatharam the Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy has a lion head and claws with a human body. Narasimha Jayanti is celebrated on May 14th 2022, Saturday. The people believed that Lord Lakshmi Narsimha Swamy had visioned during the sunset on Chaturdashi so that the pooja of this god is performed during this time. The main purpose of Narasimha Jayanti is to remove inquiry (adharmam) and to follow the charity (dharmam). We will see When is Narasimha Jayanti 2022.
