Kurma is the second avatar (incarnation) of the Hindu god Vishnu, taking the form of a giant tortoise to support the universe during a time of crisis.
• Meaning: The Sanskrit word Kurma translates to "tortoise" or "turtle".
• The Samudra Manthan: During the churning of the Ocean of Milk (Samudra Manthan) by the gods (devas) and demons (asuras), Mount Mandara was used as a churning rod. When the mountain began to sink into the soft seabed, Vishnu transformed into a giant tortoise and bore the weight of the mountain on his shell.
• Symbolism: Kurma represents patience, stability, steadfastness, endurance, and foundational support.
• Worship and Temples: He is honored during Kurma Jayanti (observed around the full moon in the Hindu month of Vaisakha) and is the primary deity at the historic Sri Kurmam Temple in the Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh
