In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Wisdom Library: Pancaratra (Samhita list)Nṛsiṃhapratiṣṭhā (नृसिंहप्रतिष्ठा) (lit. “installation of Nṛsiṃha”) is the name of chapter 6 of the Saṃkarṣaṇa-Kāṇḍa of the Hayaśīrṣapañcarātra: an ancient Pāñcarātra consisting of four sections (kāṇḍas), deriving its name from the fact that according to its frame-story (ādikāṇḍa) it was revealed by God in the form of Hayaśiras, the Horse-Headed One. The Agnipurāṇa chapters 62-69 have parallels with the Saṃkarṣaṇakāṇḍa of the Hayaśīrṣa-pañcarātra.
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsNṛsiṃhapratiṣṭhā (नृसिंहप्रतिष्ठा) refers to “installation rites for Nṛsiṃha”, as discussed in chapter 11 of the Viṣvaksenasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 2800 Sanskrit verses dealing with theological matters, image-worship, iconography (relating to pratimā-icons) and the construction of temples.—Description of the chapter [mūrtibheda-lakṣaṇa]: Here the narrative turns first to the decorations and weapons of the Lord in His Supreme Form, then to further description of Vāsudeva’s form. [...] For each of these as well as for various other forms of the Lord there are different rules and methods of pratiṣṭhā-installation [e.g., nṛsiṃhapratiṣṭhā] as well as distinctions to be maintained regarding their individual decorations and distinctive marks (143-148).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
