Mythological Significance

The tortoise holds a place of honor in Hindu cosmology, serving as the Kurma Avatar, the second incarnation of Lord Vishnu. According to legend, during the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan) by the gods and demons, the world threatened to collapse. Vishnu manifested as a giant tortoise, Kurma, and provided a stable base upon which Mount Mandara could rest, enabling the churning process to continue and ultimately yielding the elixir of immortality (Amrita). This story illustrates the tortoise's role as a foundation, a sustainer, and a source of balance.
