Dasavatharam Idol In Pure 925 Silver

Dasavatharam (Sanskrit: दशावतार, daśāvatāra) literally means "ten avatars" or "ten incarnations". It refers to the ten primary avatars of Vishnu, the Hindu god of preservation and cosmic order.

According to Hindu belief, Vishnu descends to Earth in various forms (avatars) to restore dharma (righteousness) and balance in the universe whenever it is threatened by evil forces. The Dasavatharam represents the most widely accepted and important of these incarnations.

Here are the ten avatars of Vishnu in their traditional order:

1. Matsya (मत्स्य): The fish avatar. Vishnu saves Manu (the progenitor of humanity) from a great flood.
2. Kurma (कूर्म): The tortoise avatar. Vishnu supports Mount Mandara during the churning of the ocean of milk (Samudra Manthan).
3. Varaha (वराह): The boar avatar. Vishnu rescues the Earth (Bhudevi) from the demon Hiranyaksha.
4. Narasimha (नरसिंह): The half-man, half-lion avatar. Vishnu protects his devotee Prahlada from his demon father Hiranyakashipu.
5. Vamana (वामन): The dwarf avatar. Vishnu humbles the demon king Bali and restores the three worlds to the gods.
6. Parashurama (परशुराम): The warrior sage avatar. Vishnu, as a Brahmin warrior, eliminates tyrannical Kshatriya rulers.
7. Rama (राम): The prince and righteous king avatar. Vishnu, as the hero of the Ramayana, defeats the demon king Ravana and rescues his wife Sita.
8. Krishna (कृष्ण): The divine statesman, philosopher, and lover avatar. Vishnu plays a key role in the Mahabharata, imparting profound wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita. In some traditions, Balarama (Krishna's elder brother) is considered the eighth avatar, and Krishna the ninth.
9. Buddha (बुद्ध): The enlightened teacher avatar. In most Vaishnava traditions, Gautama Buddha is considered an avatar of Vishnu who preached non-violence and compassion, aiming to reform certain practices of Hinduism.
10. Kalki (कल्कि): The future warrior avatar. Kalki is yet to appear and is prophesied to descend at the end of the current Kali Yuga to destroy evil and usher in a new age of righteousness (Satya Yuga).
