The main reason for celebrating this day is to remember and respect the miraculous way that Lord Vishnu appeared to save his supreme devotee Prahlada from his tyrannical father, demon King Hiranyakashipu. Hiranyakashipu had received a boon that he had almost become invincible, because he could be killed in neither man, nor animal, nor deity, nor demon, nor with any weapon, nor inside the house, nor outside, nor outside, nor in the day, nor in the night, nor in the sky.
Lord Vishnu incarnated as Narsingh, to maintain the cosmic system and devotion to Prahlada- neither a whole man nor a completely lion, dignity (day and night), at the threshold of the door (neither inside the house and not inside the house and not), and Hiranyakashipu killed (no traditional weapons nor any living life). This incident demonstrated the power of God to remove any obstacle and protect his devotees under any circumstances.
