On the occasion of Narsimha Chaturdashi Mahotsav, the “Sarvabighn Binashan Maha Narsimha Yagya 2026” was held on April 29-30th for the first time in Bangladesh. In addition to the thousands of devotees, the event included 508 priests. It was held at the Sri Sri Lakshmi Narasimha and Gaur-Nitai Temple located at ISKCON Mirzapur, Tangail.
On the first day of the two-day event, there was a Sankalp and Adhivas Kirtan. The next day, the program included Mangal Arati, a Kirtan Mela, special worship of Lord Narasimhadev, the offering of food and thousands of Tulsi leaves, and a Mahalakshmi Narasimha Maha Yagna. In the afternoon, there was a discussion meeting with Bhakti Advaita Nabadwip Swami, Vice President of ISKCON Bangladesh, who was present as the chief guest. A Narasimha Mahima Kirtan was also held, followed by a Mahaabhisheka in the evening, and finally the distribution of Mahaprasad to about 5,000 devotees.
