Kurma Jayanti is the birth anniversary of Lord Vishnu. Kurma was the second incarnation of Lord Vishnu during Satya Yuga. Special Puja is organized in Lord Vishnu temples. In the Kurma Avatara, Vishnu Ji appeared in the form of a tortoise.

When Mount Mandarachala started sinking during the Samudra Manthan, Vishnu Ji incarnated in the form of Kurma and held the Mount Mandarachal on his back. The Kurma incarnation is also known as Kurma Avatara or Kachchhapavatara.
