All Avatars of Vishnu

The avatars, incarnations and closely associated forms of Vishnu, including the ten classical Dashavatara from the fish Matsya and the tortoise Kurma through the boar Varaha, the man-lion Narasimha, the dwarf Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna and the future avatar Kalki, along with regional forms of Vishnu worshipped under their own names such as Jagannath, Venkateshwara and Vithoba, the healing avatar Dhanvantari, and Rama's and Krishna's own principal consorts Sita and Radha, each traditionally held to be an avatar of Lakshmi in her own right.
