Lord Hayagreeva is one of the avatars of Lord Vishnu where the Lord is
worshipped in the form of a horse headed deity with a human body. Unlike
Dasavataras, the Hayagriva incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu
is lesser known. Lord Hayagriva is regarded as the God of Knowledge
and Wisdom. Lord Hayagreeva is depicted as horse headed Vishnu with a
human body, white in color, white garments and seated on a white lotus.
Hayagriva is most popular in the south Indian states of Tamil Nadu and
Andhra Pradesh.
