19. Avadhut Avatar
Avadhut Avatar was an incarnation that was taken by Lord Shiva to crush the arrogance of Lord Indra. As the ruler of the gods, Indra developed a sense of pride. On one occasion, while Indra and other gods were passing through the Kailash Mountain, Lord Shiva decided to test him
Lord Shiva transformed into a sage and obstructed their path. Indra requested the sage to move aside, but the form of Lord Shiva as the ascetic remained unmoved. This angered Indra, and he attempted to use his thunderbolt but found his hand stuck. This broke the pride of Lord Indra and upon request, Lord Shiva revealed his true identity.
