Gautama Buddha, of Buddhism fame, is considered as an avatar of the god Vishnu in Vaishnava Hinduism but buddhists do not accept this theory[1]. Of the ten major Vishnu avatars, Vaishnavites consider Buddha as the ninth incarnation.[2][3]. In spite of this consideration Buddha's presence in a Vishnu temple is a rarity. Buddhist consider this as an attempt to subordinate Buddha and Buddhism into the Brahmanical space and to promote Hinduism.[3]
Buddha's portrayal in Hinduism varies. In some texts such as the Puranas, he is portrayed as an avatar born to mislead those who deny the Vedic knowledge.[3][4][note 1] In others such as the 13th-century Gitagovindaof Vaishnava poet Jayadeva, Vishnu incarnates as the Buddha to teach and to end animal slaughter.[2] In contemporary Hinduism, state Constance Jones and James D. Ryan, Buddha is revered by Hindus who usually consider "Buddhism to be another form of Hinduism".[4]

Mahatma Buddha
Explanation:
- The childhood name of 'Mahatma Buddha' was Siddhartha. He is also known as Gautama Buddha. He was born about two and a half thousand years ago in the house of King Shuddhodan of Kapilavastu. His mother's name was Mahamaya.
- Siddhartha was compassionate and serious in nature from childhood. One night when everyone was sleeping in the palace, Siddhartha woke up secretly and left his wife and children sleeping and went to the forest. He started harsh penance in the forest. Finally, he reached a place called Gaya in Bihar and sat under a tree meditating. One day he received knowledge. He became 'Buddha' from Siddhartha. The tree became famous as 'Bodhivriksha'.
- After attaining enlightenment, Buddha reached Sarnath. At Sarnath, he gave the first sermon to the disciples. This sequence of preaching continued for a lifetime. Once he also went to Kapilavastu where wife Yashodhara gave him as a begging son to Rahul. At the age of eighty, Gautama Buddha attained nirvana.
- The teachings of Mahatma Buddha were straightforward. His teachings had a profound impact on the people. Many kings and common citizens became followers of Buddha. His followers were called Buddhists. Buddhism received the shelter of great kings like Ashoka, Kanishka and Harsha. The teachings of Lord Buddha are very relevant even today.
