God's Incarnation as Divine Fish

Today is an auspicious day for Hindus. According to tradional Hindu Calender, it is on this day billions of years ago that Shree Mahaa Vishnu incarnated as a huge fish and saved the Scriptures and saints from demons. This day is known as Matsya Jayanthi. In Samskrit, "matsya" means fish and "Jayanthi" means birth anniversary. Devotees offer special worship to the Divine Fish form of God on this day. This was His Almighty's first among His ten incarnations.
