Sakrathazhvar, also known as Sudarshana Azhwar, is a revered figure in Vaishnavism, a prominent Hindu sect dedicated to Lord Vishnu. He is considered the embodiment of the Sudarshana Chakra, Vishnu's legendary discus weapon. Yoga Narasimha, another facet of Lord Vishnu, takes the form of a half-man, half-lion. This ferocious avatar emerged in Vishnu's fourth incarnation, the Narasimha avatar, to vanquish the demon king Hiranyakashipu. This representation emphasises the protective role of both figures. Sakrathazhvar, the Sudarshana Chakra, represents the ever-present shield safeguarding devotees. Yoga Narasimha, the fierce avatar, embodies the raw power that vanquishes evil when necessary. A traditional showpiece you simply must have for your home.
