AI overview
An avatar is an incarnation or earthly form of a deity, most notably in Hindu tradition where the god Vishnu is believed to have taken ten major forms throughout history to restore balance and fight evil. The concept matters because it represents how many religious traditions understand divine intervention in the world and has influenced Hindu theology, art, and storytelling for centuries.

化身（梵文：अवतार），在印度宗教中，是有特殊能力者，為了某些目的，以異能變化自己的形象，而成為其他人、物，最普遍被認為和眾神在地面上的肉體表現形式有關。梵文中，化身一詞具有透過深思熟慮，並且由於特殊目的而從較高境界「下降」、「轉世」的涵義。
