AI overview
An avatar is an incarnation or earthly form of a deity, most notably in Hindu tradition where the god Vishnu is believed to have taken ten major forms throughout history to restore balance and fight evil. The concept matters because it represents how many religious traditions understand divine intervention in the world and has influenced Hindu theology, art, and storytelling for centuries.
