About this item

Matsya, (Sanskrit: “Fish”) is one of the 10 avatars (incarnations) of Lord Vishnu. In this appearance, Lord Vishnu saved the world from a great flood. Manu, the first man, caught a little fish that grew to giant size. When the flood approached, Manu saved himself by tying his boat to the horn on the fish's head. 

Matsya is the first Dashavatara.

Wonderful way for children to become absorbed in the pastimes of the incarnations of the Lord.
