THE PRESERVER
Vishnu governs the aspect of preservation and sustenance
of the universe, so he is called “Preserver of the universe”.
In almost all Hindu denominations, Vishnu is either worshipped
directly or in the form of his ten avatara, most famous of whom
are Rama and Krishna.

The concept of avatar within
Hinduism is most often
associated with Vishnu. Vishnu's
avatars typically descend
for a very specific purpose.

An oft-quoted passage from the
Bhagavad Gita describes the
typical role of an avatar of
Vishnu—to bring dharma, or
righteousness, back to the social
and cosmic order:
VISHNU: The AVATARS
“Whenever righteousness wanes
and unrighteousness increases
I send myself forth.
For the protection of the good and
for the destruction of evil,
and for the establishment of
righteousness,
I come into being age after age.”
(Gita:4.7–8)

The ten best known avatars of Vishnu are
collectively known as the “Dashavatara”.

appearance", and refers to the

a superhuman being or a deity
in another form.
