Vishnu

Vishnu is a major deity in Hinduism, revered as the preserver and protector of the universe. He is part of the Hindu trinity, which includes Brahma the creator and Shiva the destroyer. Vishnu is often depicted with blue skin and four arms, holding a conch, discus, mace, and lotus flower. He is known for his avatars, or incarnations, such as Rama and Krishna, which he takes to restore cosmic order and dharma (righteousness) when it is threatened. Devotees worship him for his compassion and guidance in overcoming challenges in life.
