According to Hindu mythology, Matsya Avatar is considered the first avatar of Lord Vishnu, and it is believed that he appeared on earth to save the world from a great flood.
Origin and Basis of Matsya Jayanti:
As per the Hindu scriptures, there was a king named Satyavrata, also known as Manu, who was a pious and virtuous ruler. Once, while performing his daily rituals, he found a tiny fish in the river, and he decided to take care of it. As the fish grew bigger, it requested Manu to keep it in a bigger container. The fish kept growing, and Manu had to keep shifting it to bigger and bigger containers until he had to release it into the ocean.
Later, Lord Vishnu appeared before Manu in the form of Matsya Avatar and warned him of a great flood that was going to destroy the entire world. Lord Vishnu instructed Manu to build a boat and save himself along with the seven sages and all the animals from the flood. Manu followed Lord Vishnu’s instructions and built the boat, and when the flood came, Lord Vishnu appeared as Matsya Avatar and guided the boat to safety.
The festival of Matsya Jayanti is celebrated to honor the sacrifice made by Lord Vishnu in the form of Matsya Avatar to save the world from destruction.
