These artisans were masters of bronze casting, creating masterpieces that continue to inspire awe and reverence. This item is 15.0 x 6.0 x 5.0 inches. This tradition of sculpting adds a sense of legacy and heritage to this product.The Ten Avatars: A Journey Through Time

2. Kurma (The Tortoise): During the churning of the ocean, Vishnu supports Mount Mandara on his back, enabling the gods and demons to obtain amrita (the nectar of immortality).
3. Varaha (The Boar): Vishnu, as Varaha, rescues the earth goddess Bhumi from the demon Hiranyaksha, raising her from the cosmic ocean.
4. Narasimha (The Man-Lion): To protect his devotee Prahlada, Vishnu appears as Narasimha, a fearsome hybrid creature, and defeats the demon Hiranyakashipu.
5. Vamana (The Dwarf): Vishnu, as a dwarf, outwits the benevolent demon king Bali, reclaiming the three worlds for the gods.
6. Parashurama (The Axe-Wielding Warrior): A Brahmin warrior, Parashurama, eradicates the tyrannical Kshatriya rulers, restoring balance to society.
7. Rama (The Ideal King): The epitome of righteousness, Rama, as the hero of the Ramayana, defeats the demon king Ravana and establishes a golden age.
8. Krishna (The Divine Statesman): The central figure of the Mahabharata, Krishna, through his wisdom and divine interventions, guides the Pandavas to victory in their battle against the Kauravas.
9. Buddha (The Enlightened One): The embodiment of compassion, Buddha, is said to have appeared to lead people away from violence and animal sacrifice.
