Lord Vamana, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is known for his role in subduing the demon king Mahabali. In a famous story, Vamana, appearing as a dwarf Brahmin, humbles Mahabali by covering the entire earth with his steps.
This avatar symbolizes humility, righteousness, and the triumph of good over evil. Devotees seek blessings from Lord Vamana for these virtues and spiritual growth.
