Importance of Vamana Avatar
Lord Vamana incarnated to subdue the pride of King Bali. In the form of a dwarf Brahmin, He asked for three steps of land. With His divine expansion, He measured the earth and heaven in two steps, and placed the third on Bali’s head. This story symbolizes humility and surrender to God
