Narsimha Jayanti 2026: According to the Vedic Panchang (calendar), Narsimha Jayanti is celebrated every year on the *Chaturdashi* (14th day) of the *Shukla Paksha* (waxing phase of the moon) during the month of *Vaishakh*. This day is dedicated to Lord Narsimha—the fierce and protective avatar of Lord Vishnu. On this auspicious occasion, performing worship and rituals with due observance is considered to be of special significance.
According to religious beliefs, worshipping Lord Narsimha grants an individual freedom from fear, victory over enemies, and protection against negative forces. Furthermore, it bestows blessings of happiness, peace, and prosperity in life. Consequently, devotees are eager to know when Narsimha Jayanti will be celebrated in 2026, what the auspicious timing (*Shubh Muhurat*) for the rituals is, and how the worship ceremony should be conducted.
