Indian Mythology Contest

reports, July 30, 2008Hello! 
This article will provide you with all the basic information about the contest along with some helpful hints and links that you can use to incorporate in your entry.
The contest will kick off next sunday that is AUGUST 3rd 2008 12:00 am Indian Standard Time (thats 5.30 hours ahead of GMT)
It ends October 28th 11:59pm IST
Details
Indian Mythology is extremely vast- even I am unaware of many aspects! India is very rich in culture and I just thought it would be nice for us all to explore it. And a contest would be a fun way to go about it
So pick a story/character/incident and illustrate it to the best of your abilities. There are many lovely stories and epics to choose from. I shall list a few of them just as an outline/guide- you can, of course, research your own or illustrate one that you already know well
DASAVATARA
It literally means 'ten avataras' or ten incarnations. These are ten stories about the incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
[link]
The ten avataras are
Matsya, the fish
Kurma, the tortoise
Varaha, the boar
Narasimha, half-human and half-lion
Vamana, the dwarf
Parashurama
Rama (of Ramayana fame)
Krishna
Gautama Buddha
