Dashavatar (Stories of Lord Vishnu)

Did you know that each avatar of Vishnu arrived with a specific purpose? ;

Time and again, Vishnu has manifested in different forms to fulfil his role as a 'protector' of the world. Among the long list of 24 avatars, ten avatars have captured our imagination for centuries together—Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parshurama, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki.

But how exactly did these avatars impact the society? And how do they link to the Charles Darwin theory of evolution? While each avatar has its own set of legends that extol their characteristics and deeds, the stories behind them are just as interesting and informative.

Presented in a contemporary and unbiased perspective, these stories of the ten avatars of Vishnu are an attempt to make mythology more believable and relevant to the world that we live in today.
