Lord Nrsimha appeared on the Nrsimha Caturdasi on account of His devotee, Prahlada. The Lord appears for two purposes: to give protection and rescue the devotees, and to kill the demons. The only fault of the five-year-old Prahlada Maharaja was that he was Krsna conscious.
His father, Hiranyakasipu, was so cruel towards his son that he tried to kill him in so many ways. However, by the grace of Krsna, he was always saved.
Finally, when the atrocities of Hiranyakasipu against his son crossed all possible limits, the Lord appeared in this most fearsome form of Nrsimhadev to encourage Prahlada Maharaja and kill Hiranyakasipu. As promised in the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna will never fail in giving protection to His devotee.
