Yahoo! Avatars is a public Yahoo!, Inc. service to display personalized character images, called "avatars."
Avatars are pieced together from body parts (selected by hair/eye color, etc.), clothing items, and accessories (including some name brands).
Themed backgrounds, sports gear, and other items are chosen via a "tab-style" library.
Yahoo! Avatars are "personality" images, available for display on websites (by HTML), in profiles (e.g. Yahoo! 360°) and in chat using Yahoo! Messenger.

1. In Hindu philosophy, an avatar, avatara or avatarim (Sanskrit: à¤
वतार, IAST: avatÄra), most commonly refers to the incarnation (bodily manifestation) of a higher being (deva), or the Supreme Being (God) onto planet Earth. The Sanskrit word avatÄra- literally means "descent" and usually implies a deliberate descent into lower realms of existence for special purposes. The term is used primarily in Hinduism, for incarnations of Vishnu whom many Hindus worship as God. The Dasavatara are ten particular "great" incarnations of Vishnu.
2 . Among people working on virtual reality and cyberspace interfaces, an avatar (sometimes AV, av, or avvie) is an icon or representation of a user in a shared virtual reality. The term is sometimes used on MUDs, in computer role-playing games, and shared non-gaming universes such as Active Worlds, There, Second Life, and The Palace.This definition has recently been applied to online virtual communities and Internet forums in particular, as a picture that a member/user of such a community/forum has elected to display alongside his or her contributions in order to represent him- or herself. Avatars have also become popular in instant messaging, and are sometimes referred to as buddy icons.

In yahoo, it's the picture you create that represents you or some aspect of yourself. In religion, it denotes an enlightened, spiritually evolved person, i.e. what a yogi strives to become.
