MUMBAI: Reliance Foundation founder and chairperson Nita Ambani presented ‘Dashavatar,’ a spectacular audio-visual experience showcasing the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
This captivating exploration of Hindu tradition, inspired by the holy city of Kashi and curated for the wedding celebrations of Anant and Radhika Ambani, beautifully embodies the richness of Hindu culture and extends this spirit of inclusivity.

While talking about the significance of ‘Dashavatar’, she said, “Since time immemorial, the ten incarnations of Bhagawan Vishnu, known as the Dashavtar have caught the imagination of Hindus and scholars of Indian civilization. Hindus believe that whenever the world is threatened by evil or negative forces, Bhagawan Vishnu descends on earth in some form, avatar, and restores dharma and the cosmic order”.
