discover lord vishnu

Lord Vishnu is the Preserver in the Hindu Trinity (Trimurti), responsible for maintaining the balance and order of the universe. While Brahma creates and Shiva transforms, Vishnu ensures that everything runs in harmony. He rests on the cosmic serpent Shesha, floating on the ocean of creation.

Vishnu is depicted with four arms holding a conch (Shankha), discus (Sudarshana Chakra), mace (Gada), and lotus. His skin is blue, representing the infinite cosmos. He is perhaps most famous for his Dashavatara — ten incarnations including Rama and Krishna — who appear whenever the world needs saving.

Vishnu's ten avatars give children an entire universe of stories to explore. From Matsya (the fish) saving the world from a flood to Narasimha (half-lion, half-man) protecting his devotee Prahlada, each avatar is a complete adventure story.

In "The Marvelous Hindu Deities," Vishnu is presented in his cosmic form, giving children a sense of his vast, protective presence. The illustrations emphasize his role as the guardian who watches over everyone.
