Lord Vishnu is considered as the Preserver of the Universe in Hinduism. It is believed that when injustice and negative forces prevail on Earth, Lord Vishnu comes in various forms to uproot them. Thus, Lord Vishnu incarnates from time to time to eradicate the evil forces and establish dharma - the righteous way. Lord Vishnu is believed to have taken on nine incarnations (avatars) so far and the tenth avatar will descend on Earth at the end of Kaliyuga. Hence these ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu are collectively known as the Dashavatar.
The first three avatars which descended on Earth was during the Satyuga,the next three in the Treta Yuga, seventh, eighth and ninth incarnations appeared in Dwaparyuga and the final one will appear in Kaliyuga. This volume contains the stories of each of these avatars with colorful illustrations for children. The main aim of placing the pictorial story of these incarnations in the hand of children is to introduce to them the spirit of pity, love and synthesis as found in the religion.
