Narasimha of Hampi
Restorer of Dharma.
Today is Narasimha Jayanti, a celebration of Narasimha, the fourth avatar of Lord Vishnu.
Among the treasures at Hampi, a World Heritage Site, is the astounding monolith of Narasimha. A masterpiece such as this must draw not only on extraordinary artistic imagination and skill but also from the deep wellspring of Bhakti (devotion).
