Vishnupathi Punyakalam November 2025: Significance

Vishnupati Punyakalam is important in Tamil Vaishnava culture because it relates to stories of Lord Vishnu's incarnations. The most well-known story involves Lord Narasimha, Vishnu's half-man, half-lion form, who killed the demon king Hiranyakashipu to save his devotee Prahlada.

Hindu legend says Lord Narasimha stayed angry even after he killed Hiranyakashipu, remaining in his frightening form. Worried, the gods and sages asked Devi Lakshmi for help. Understanding what was happening, Maa Lakshmi calmed Lord Narasimha. As soon as her shadow touched him, he calmed down and appeared as Lakshmi Narasimha. People celebrate this time as Vishnupati Punyakalam, believing Lord Vishnu shows great compassion to his followers then.
