Narasimha Defeating Hiranyakasipu

68
Vishnu, in the form of Narasimha, a lion-man avatar, defeats the demon king Hiranyakasipu. This scene symbolizes divine justice triumphing over tyranny. Hiranyakasipu, who believed himself invincible, is shown being overpowered as Narasimha tears open his chest, representing the protection of dharma (cosmic order) and the assurance that divine intervention upholds righteousness against malevolence.
