Narasimha Dwadashi is a sacred Hindu festival that celebrates the powerful incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Narasimha, the half-man, half-lion deity. This festival is observed on the twelfth day of the bright half of the Hindu month of Phalguna, typically falling in March. Devotees perform special prayers, seek blessings, and offer puja rituals to seek protection and strength from Lord Narasimha.

Narasimha Dwadashi is believed to be particularly auspicious for those seeking protection from enemies and negative forces. The day is also considered significant for those looking to overcome obstacles and challenges in their lives. Images of Lord Narasimha in various forms and poses are prominently displayed and worshipped during this festival.

Devotees decorate their homes and temples with vibrant garlands, light lamps, and perform bhajans and kirtans in honor of Lord Narasimha. Offerings of fruits, sweets, and special dishes are made to the deity as a gesture of devotion and gratitude. Celebrating Narasimha Dwadashi is believed to bestow blessings of courage, fearlessness, and victory over evil on the devotees.
