Vishnu represents the preserver, the defender, and the sustainer of the world made by Brahma just as the law of the Vedas. Contrasted with different gods, he was accepted to have an exceptionally gathered and kindhearted nature with his "focal person as gatekeeper, defender and preserver of the world" (Dimmit and van Buitenen 64). Vishnu is depicted with having blue skin and four arms, and as dressed with broad adornments, blossom wreaths, a wrapped skirt, and a huge crown. In the four hands, Vishnu conveys a conch shell, a "chakra" (a plate), a lotus blossom, and a club-like mace. Vishnu is additionally accepted to live in paradise known as "Vaikuntha and floats some place in the sky over the seven sky" (Dimmit and van Buitenen 61). Vishnu is accepted to rest in an enormous expanse of milk, the bed he dozes on being his snake Anantha-Sesha. This dozing type of Vishnu is known as Narayana. Narayana's partner Lakshmi, the goddess of favorable luck and thriving, rubs his feet as he rests on Anantha-Sesha. Lakshmi's quality "balances his male astuteness and otherworldly refinement with female genuineness and energy" (Cummins et al. 79), vital for Vishnu and his exhibition. She over and over manifested herself as partner to every one of his symbols, for "Where he is, she is as well" (Pattanaik 75). Vishnu's vehicle is a devoted falcon named Garuda on which Vishnu ventures. These extraordinary attributes of Vishnu are fundamental for his obligation as the preserver and defender of the made world, assisting him with "full control of existence and abstract real factors" as indicated by Pattanaik (35). Not exclusively did these characterizing parts of Vishnu permit him to complete his obligations as the preserver, however his back to back symbols permitted him to do as such too.
All through Vishnu's proceeding with presence, Vishnu has resurrected himself to do his obligation of saving and ensuring the world just as the law of the Vedas. In what is known as the "Dashavatar," or the ten resurrections of Vishnu (commonly accepted to be novel to Vishnu just), Hindus accept he has resurrected himself currently multiple times and his 10th rebirth is on the way. Vishnu's first symbol was a fish, known as Matsya Avatar. In this manifestation, Vishnu's motivation is to save the Vedas just as salvage a devout and gave man just as different animals from a tremendous flood to guarantee "the endurance of life on Earth" .
