divine incarnations

Deities made flesh

Divine incarnations are deities manifested in physical form, typically human or animal.

The concept appears across religions—Hinduism recognizes avatars like Krishna and Rama as incarnations of Vishnu, while Christianity holds that Jesus was God incarnate.

The plural suggests multiple such manifestations across traditions or within a single tradition's mythology: Hindu texts describe ten divine incarnations of Vishnu.
