Matsya Narayana
The Matsya Narayana Temple on the Omkar Hills in southern Bangalore is the only Karnataka shrine dedicated to Vishnu's fish avatar Matsya, first of his ten incarnations. As told from the Shatapatha Brahmana onward, Matsya guides Manu's ship through the great deluge and slays the demon Hayagriva to recover stolen Vedas, his icon joining Vishnu's four-armed torso to fish's body.
