Vishnu is the protector and preserver of the universe. In order to protect the universe and dharma, he descended on earth in ten different forms, or dashavatars. The purpose of such avatars is to completely destroy evil and restore dharma. During the Hindu festival of Navaratri, a traditional display of dolls or figurines depicting the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu is known as a dasavataram Golu bommai set.
• An integral part of the Golu setup is the Dasavatharam, the Purana story about the creation and end of the world and all the forms of Lord Vishnu in the process.
• Golu is a doll and figurine festival held in South India during Navaratri and Dussehra. It is a set of steps decorated with bommais (dolls) of all shapes and sizes to tell a story about a Hindu or secular cultural issue. Every Kolu needs a refreshing twist with beautiful handmade dolls.
• The ten avatars are:
1. Matsya (the fish): Lord Vishnu appeared in a part-fish and part-man form and saved Manu and seven sages.
2. Kurma (the tortoise): Lord Vishnu helped Gods and demons to churn the milky sea and take out the nectar.
3. Varaha (the boar): He killed a demon named Hiranyaksha, who had taken the earth to the bottom of a cosmic sea, and restored the earth to its place.
4. Narasimha (the lion man): Narasimha appeared to protect his devotee Prahlada from his father, the demon king Hiranyakashipu.
5. Vamana (the dwarf): He was the first incarnation of Vishnu as a human being. He took back the kingdom of Gods from Asura King Bali.
6. Parashurama Avatar: Parashurama killed the evil king Kartavirya Arjuna and rid the world of oppression.
7. Rama Avatar: Rama defeated the demon king Ravana and restored righteousness and justice.
8. Krishna Avatar: Krishna played a crucial role in the epic Mahabharata and imparted the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.
9. Buddha Avatar: The incarnation of Lord Vishnu who appeared as the Buddha, and taught the path to enlightenment and liberation from suffering.
10. Kalki Avatar: Vishnu is expected to appear at the end of the Kali Yuga to restore order and righteousness in the world.
