Question
What are the Dashavatar (ten incarnations) of Lord Vishnu?
Answer
In the tradition of Hinduism, the 10 principal incarnations of Lord Vishnu are called Dashavatar. Their names are — Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Shri Rama, Shri Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki.
Among these, in the Matsya avatar Lord Vishnu took the form of a fish, in Kurma of a tortoise, in Varaha of a boar, and in Narasimha of a half-man and half-lion.
After that, the incarnations of Vamana, Parashurama, Shri Rama, and Shri Krishna took place. In the prevalent list of Dashavatar, Buddha is considered the ninth and Kalki the tenth incarnation. The Kalki avatar is traditionally believed to be an incarnation that will occur in the future.
