What is incarnation meaning?

In religious and spiritual contexts, incarnation refers to the belief that a divine being or essence has taken on human form. In Christianity, the belief is that God became man in the form of Jesus Christ. Hinduism also holds the belief in incarnation, with the concept of avataras, or divine beings who come to earth to uphold righteousness and order. Incarnation can also refer more broadly to the embodiment or manifestation of an idea or concept in physical form, beyond religious contexts.
