विष्णु की पांचवें अवतार

Vamana is the fifth incarnation of Vishnu, born as a dwarf into the household of Brahminpriests. Vamana tricked the demon King Bali to grant him as much of his empire he can grant in three steps. With the first step he uncovered all of Earth. With the next step he uncovered all of the Heavens, and while doing that Brahma washed his feet in his kamandalu or water pot. Out of the pot Ganga was born. With the last step Vamana pushed the demon King Bali back to the underworld.
