Lord Vishnu took the form of ten avatars or incarnations to restore cosmic order in the world.
He is one of the three main gods of Hinduism known as the Trimurti. The other gods are Lord Brahma the creator, and Lord Shiva the destroyer.
Whenever Dharma – that is law and order in the world is endangered, Vishnu changes into another form called an Avatar so he can protect the goodies and destroy the baddies and demons. This is also known as incarnation. So the balance between good and evil is restored. It is believed that Vishnu had ten avatars or forms, the most popular being Rama and Krishna.
This beautiful book by the Jai Jais takes you on an incredible journey of Lord Vishnu's ten avatars.
