Nrusinhavatar

About the show

Hiranyakashipu vows revenge after Vishnu's Varaha avatar kills his brother. His son Prahalad remains devoted to Vishnu despite his father's threats; when Hiranyakashipu orders him to embrace a hot iron pillar, Nrusinh emerges from it and kills the king. The Gujarati play combines the myth with a jester's household and Sanskrit-style dramatic conventions.
