Kartik Naach - Narasingh - Hiranyakashyapu - Nepal

PRAHLAD, the son of HIRANYAKASHYAPU, performs during the eighth day of the Kartik Naach at Kartik Dabali, Patan Durbar Square, in Patan, Nepal, on November 3, which extends into November 4. The drama retells the legend in which HIRANYAKASHYAPU becomes a tyrant after receiving Brahma’s boon. Despite his father’s attempts to kill him, PRAHLAD grows up as a devout follower of Lord Vishnu. His performance depicts unwavering faith and moral courage, highlighting the triumph of devotion against tyranny before NARSINGH intervenes. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
