Vamana (Sanskrit: वामन, 'Dwarf')also known as Trivikrama 'three steps'), Urukrama ('far-stepping'), Upendra ( 'Indra’s younger brother'), Dadhivamana (Sanskrit: दधिवामन, 'milk-dwarf') and Balibandhana ( 'binder or killer of Bali'),is an avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu. He is the fifth avatar of Vishnu
Vamana teaches the lesson of humility and respect for the divine.
The demon king Bali ruled over the three worlds and was known for his generosity. The resplendent Vishnu was born of the womb of Aditi as the incarnation Vamana and disguised as a mendicant he approached king Bali. Of him, he requested a piece of ground that could be covered by three strides, and having obtained what he asked, he covered the whole universe in three steps.
