Vishnu, the supreme god in Vaishnavite Hindu tradition, is depicted here surrounded by his ten sacred incarnations or avatars. These divine manifestations represent Vishnu's intervention in the world to preserve dharma (cosmic order) and restore balance during times of chaos. Among them, the first six are Matsya (Fish), Kurma (Tortoise), Varaha (Boar), Narasimha (Half-man, Half-lion), Vamana (Dwarf), and Parasurama (Rama with an axe). Elsewhere, the Knight of Death on a White Horse reminds us of the transient nature of life, while intricate engravings from India's Ajanta Caves showcase various visions of these incarnations and other divine beings. Embracing the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology, we contemplate the profound significance of these divine manifestations and their role in shaping our spiritual journey.
