Sankarshana

Sankarshana is a significant figure in Hindu tradition, particularly within the Vaishnava school. He is considered an incarnation (avatar) of Lord Vishnu and is believed to embody the divine cosmic energy responsible for the creation and sustenance of the universe. Sankarshana is often depicted as a divine serpent or with a serpent-like form, symbolizing infinite knowledge and power. He plays a key role in the cosmic cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction, serving as a link between the creator god Brahma and the supreme deity Vishnu. In spiritual terms, Sankarshana represents the dynamic aspect of divine energy involved in maintaining cosmic order.
