Lord Vishnu, 'the preserver of the universe”, incarnates on earth whenever evil runs unchecked to restore worldly order. Dashavatar are His ten primary incarnations. This short video gives a summary of the third of them, the Varaha or boar avatar, through which the Lord saves Bhoomadevi, the mother earth, from tempestuous floods. He also helps restore order by defeating Hiranyaksh, a mighty demon with a special boon from Lord Brahma.
