Dashavatara

Dashavatara (Sanskrit: दशावतार, daśāvatāra) se refiere a diez avatares de Vishnu, el dios hindú de la preservación. Vishnu se dice que desciende en forma de un avatar para restaurar el orden cósmico.
La lista de Dashavatara varía a través de sectas y regiones. La lista esta es: Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Gautama Buddha y Kalki. Algunas veces, Krishna reemplaza a Vishnu como la fuente de todos los avatares y Balarama toma el lugar de Krishna en la lista. En otras versiones, Buddha puede ser bajado de la lista y ser sustituido por deidades regionales como Vithoba o Jagannath, o Balarama.
