Narasimha Kills Hiranyakashipu

Pediment, Gallery north of Causeway
Banteay Srei (plan)

The gallery is located just north of the causeway and about halfway down. It is paired with a similar gallery to the south of the causeway. On the pediment of the north gallery, seen here, Narasimha, the man-lion incarnation of Vishnu, prepares to disembowel his asura (demon) adversary.
