Dashavatara I
As per Hindu Mythology, whenever the world has been threatened with disorder, evil and destructive forces, The Preserver among the Holy Trinity, Lord Vishnu has taken on various incarnations or avatars to restore cosmic order.

Dashavatara refers to the ten primary incarnations of Vishnu that descended during times of chaos in each of the four Yugas or age in time. As per Puranic astronomical estimates together, these four yugas constitute one Mahayuga and equal 4.32 million human years. Interestingly the incarnations vary across regions and different sects of Hinduism and hence no list is bereft of controversy but importantly all believe in the essence of Dashavtara.

Fascinated by this concept the artist was moved to represent the mythology on canvas.
