A statue of Nrisingha (Narasimha) is often placed outside the home, particularly at the entrance, as a symbol of protection against evil and negativity. This practice stems from his role as a fierce protector in Hindu mythology and is believed to ward off negative energies and bad omens.
Lord Narasimha is revered as an avatar of Lord Vishnu who took a fierce form to protect his devotee Prahlada from his demon father Hiranyakashipu. His image is seen as a powerful symbol of protection against evil forces, and placing it outside the home, especially at the entrance, is thought to create a protective barrier.
In Vastu Shastra, the traditional Indian system of architecture, placing a Narasimha statue at the main entrance is recommended to ward off evil spirits and negativity, according to some interpretations.
Beyond protection, the statue is also believed to attract positive energy and promote a harmonious environment within the home, fostering good relationships among family members.
The statue can also enhance spiritual energy, encouraging meditation and prayer, further promoting a peaceful and positive atmosphere.
Symbol of Strength, righteousness and justice, reminding one to uphold these values in daily life.
The practice of placing Narasimha statues outside the home is relatively common, particularly in homes with a strong Vaishnava tradition (devotees of Vishnu).
