Hindu incarnation (6)
I believe the answer is:
avatar
'hindu incarnation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for avatar that I've seen before include "New personification of a familiar idea" , "Hindu incarnation; embodiment" , "Manifestation of person or idea" , "Manifestation of a deity (Hinduism)" , "Internet ID icon" .)
