The Dasavatar refers to the ten primary incarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu, who is believed to periodically take human form in order to restore order to the universe and protect the virtuous. The ten incarnations are:
1. Matsya (Fish) Avatar - The first avatar of Vishnu was Matsya, the fish. In this form, Vishnu saved the first man, Manu, from a great flood by guiding him to a new world.
2. Kurma (Tortoise) Avatar - In this form, Vishnu took the shape of a tortoise to support the weight of the universe during the churning of the ocean.
3. Varaha (Boar) Avatar - Vishnu appeared in the form of a boar to save the earth from the demon Hiranyaksha and lifted it from the bottom of the ocean.
4. Narasimha (Half-man Half-lion) Avatar - This form of Vishnu was a combination of a human and a lion, and he appeared to kill the demon Hiranyakashipu, who had gained great power through a boon from Lord Brahma.
5. Vamana (Dwarf) Avatar - Vishnu appeared in this form to restore the balance of power between the gods and demons. He tricked the demon king Bali and asked for three steps of land, but then expanded himself to cover the whole universe.
6. Parasurama (Rama with Axe) Avatar - This avatar of Vishnu was a fierce warrior who appeared to rid the world of corrupt and arrogant kings.
7. Lord Rama Avatar - Vishnu appeared as the famous Prince Rama of Ayodhya to defeat the demon king Ravana, and his story is told in the Hindu epic Ramayana.
8. Lord Krishna Avatar - One of the most beloved avatars of Vishnu, Krishna appeared as a divine cowherd to guide humanity towards a more spiritual path. His story is told in the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
9. Gautama Buddha Avatar - This is a unique avatar, as Buddha is not considered a god in Hinduism. Vishnu appeared as Buddha to teach people the path of non-violence and compassion.
10. Kalki Avatar - This is the final avatar of Vishnu, who is yet to appear. In this form, Vishnu will come riding on a white horse, carrying a flaming sword, to destroy evil and usher in a new age of enlightenment.
