Lord Vishnu is often depicted as having a blue complexion, with four arms holding a conch shell (shankha), a discus (chakra), a mace (gada), and a lotus flower (padma). He typically wears golden ornaments and is adorned with a crown and sacred tilaka on his forehead.
Vishnu represents the principle of preservation, which is essential for the sustenance and continuity of the universe. His role in Hindu cosmology underscores the cyclical nature of creation, preservation, and dissolution, symbolizing the eternal cycle of life and death.
