Narasimha Jayanti dates
What is Narasimha Jayanti?
The Narasimha story is a study in conditions: neither man nor beast, neither day nor night, neither inside nor out. Hence the festival's timing — sayam sandhya, the twilight that is neither day nor night.
Devotees fast through the day and break it after the evening worship, reciting the Narasimha kavacha for protection from fear.
Muhurat on Narasimha Jayanti
The operative window is evening twilight (pradosh kaal), not midday. The listed Abhijit Muhurat serves daytime worship; the sandhya-puja window is computed in the Bela app.
