Lord Vishnu, the sustainer of the universe, embodies peace, balance, and protection. He stands on the coils of Sheshnag in the cosmic ocean, holding the Sudarshana Chakra, conch, mace, and showing the Abhaya Mudra. Adorned with the Shrivatsa mark, Kaustubha jewel, and golden-yellow silk, his serene blue form reflects infinity and divinity. Accompanied by consorts Lakshmi and Bhudevi, he is associated with prosperity, fertility, and abundance. His abode, Vaikuntha, and mount Garuda symbolize celestial authority and swift action. As part of the Trimurti, Vishnu maintains cosmic order through his ten avatars, each upholding dharma. Celebrated in the Rigveda for his universal strides, Vishnu represents the eternal force of protection and harmony in the universe.
