Matsya, also known as "the fish," is a significant figure in Hindu mythology. According to the ancient scriptures, Matsya is the first avatar or incarnation of Lord Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. The story of Matsya is found in the sacred texts of Hinduism, such as the Matsya Purana and the Bhagavata Purana.

The tale of Matsya begins with a great flood that threatens to destroy all life on Earth. Lord Vishnu, in his Matsya avatar, takes the form of a gigantic fish to save humanity and other living beings from the floodwaters. He appears before the sage Manu, who is instructed to build a massive boat and gather a pair of each species of plants and animals to preserve life.

As the floodwaters rise, Matsya guides the boat and protects it from various dangers. Eventually, he helps the boat reach safety on the top of a mountain once the flood subsides. Matsya imparts divine knowledge to Manu during their time together, including prophecies about future events and teachings on righteousness.

The story of Matsya symbolizes the concept of preservation and the cyclical nature of existence in Hinduism. It highlights Lord Vishnu's role as the preserver and protector of the universe. Matsya is considered the first avatar of Vishnu, preceding the nine other incarnations, including notable ones such as Rama and Krishna.

Overall, Matsya holds a significant place in Hindu mythology and serves as an embodiment of divine intervention and protection in times of crisis.

Varaha (Varāha) is an avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu, in the form of a wild boar. Varaha is generally listed as third in the Dashavatara, the ten principal avatars of Vishnu.

Varaha is most commonly associated with the legend of lifting the earth (personified as the goddess Bhudevi) out of the cosmic ocean. When the asura Hiranyaksha stole the earth and hid her in the primordial waters, Vishnu appeared as Varaha to rescue her. Varaha slew the asura, and retrieved the earth from the ocean, lifting it on his tusks, restoring Bhudevi to her place in the universe.

Vamana (Dwarf), also known as Trivikrama (three steps) Urukrama (far-stepping), Upendra (Indra’s younger brother), Dadhivamana (milk-dwarf), and Balibandhana (binder or killer of Bali) is an avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu. He is the fifth avatar of Vishnu, and the first Dashavatara in the Treta Yuga, after Narasimha.

Originating in the Vedas, Vamana is most commonly associated in the Hindu epics and Puranas with the legend of taking back the three worlds (collectively referred to as the Trailokya) from the daitya-king Bali by taking three steps to restore the cosmic order. He is the youngest among the adityas, the sons of Aditi and the sage Kashyapa.

Rama is a major deity in Hinduism. He is the seventh and one of the most popular avatars of Vishnu. In Rama-centric traditions of Hinduism, he is considered the Supreme Being. Rama is especially important to Vaishnavism. He is the central figure of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana, a text historically popular in the South Asian and Southeast Asian cultures. His ancient legends have attracted bhasya (commentaries) and extensive secondary literature and inspired performance arts. Rama legends are also found in the texts of Jainism and Buddhism.

The Buddha was integrated into Vaishnavism through its mythology in the Vaishnava Puranas, where the Buddha is adopted as the ninth avatar of Vishnu. According to the Agni Purana, Vishnu assumed this incarnation on earth due to the daityas defeating the devas in their battles. In order to restore the natural order, he deluded the asuras with his teachings. This caused them to abandon the path established by the Vedas and convert to Buddhism, causing them to be devoid of dharma. This caused them to become dasyus at the end of the Kali Yuga, causing them to be cast off to hell, devoid of good conduct. Furthermore, it causes the age to be characterised by the intermixture of the varnas and domination by the Mlecchas, barbarian and foreign forces. Subsequently, according to tradition, it became the responsibility of Adi Shankaracharya and future Vaishnava acharyas to re-establish theism.

Buddha

Krishna is a major deity in Hinduism. He is worshipped as the eighth avatar of Vishnu and also as the Supreme God in his own right. He is the god of protection, compassion, tenderness, and love and is one of the most popular and widely revered among Hinduism divinities. The anecdotes and narratives of Krishna's life are generally titled as Krishna Līlā. He is a central character in the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata Purana, the Brahma Vaivarta Purana, and the Bhagavad Gita, and is mentioned in many Hindu philosophical, theological, and mythological texts. They portray him in various perspectives: as a god-child, a prankster, a model lover, a divine hero, and the universal supreme being. His iconography reflects these legends, and shows him in different stages of his life, such as an infant eating butter, a young boy playing a flute, a young boy with Radha or surrounded by female devotees, or a friendly charioteer giving counsel to Arjuna.
