Vaman Jayanti is celebrated on the incarnation day of Bhagwan Vamana, the fifth incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu in Treta Yuga. The incarnation of Bhagwan Vamana is considered to be in Abhijit Muhurta and Shravan Nakshatra on the Dwadashi date of Bhadrapada Shukla Paksha. Hence this festival is also known as Vamana Dwadashi.
Bhagwan Vamana was the first Shri Vishnu incarnation in the Treta Yuga. Before this, there were four incarnations of Bhagwan Vishnu in Satyuga itself. Bhagwan Vamana is also the first complete human incarnation. The incarnation of Bhagwan Vamana took place on this earth as the son of Mata Aditi and Rishi Kashyap.
Bhagwan Vamana is also described as the fifth incarnation of Sri Hari in Sri Dashavatar Stotra of Sri Geetgovindam composed by Sri Jayadeva Goswami.
