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.
