Trimurti विष्णु

Vishnu

The Preserver

The sustainer who descends to earth whenever dharma falters. Vishnu's avatars—from fish to prince—embody divine intervention across the ages.

Lore

Reclining on the cosmic serpent Shesha between cycles of creation, Vishnu awakens to restore balance. The Dashavatara narrates ten principal incarnations, each responding to a specific cosmic crisis.
