Also known as “Narayana” or “Hari”,
Vishnu is one of the most popularly worshipped gods in the Hindu pantheon. He
is the supreme being in “Vaishnavism”, who creates, protects and transforms the
universe. Around his neck, Vishnu wears the auspicious Kaustubha necklace. A
crown is adorning his head. His four hands hold Shankha (Conch), Chakra
(Discus), Gada (Mace). He is seen wearing two earrings. The earrings represent
inherent opposites in creation –Knowledge and Ignorance; happiness and
unhappiness; pleasure and pain. His right hand is extended in “Abhaya Mudra”,
signifying fearlessness, courage and strength. Worshipping this manifestation
that is sculpted in copper bestows blessings upon devotees.

When dharma (righteousness) declines, Vishnu incarnates in various forms (avatars) to restore order and vanquish evil. These incarnations are legendary tales, each a testament to Vishnu’s commitment to upholding the universe. Some of his most famous avatars include Rama, the righteous king, and Krishna, the divine strategist.

Another carries the discus (Chakra), representing the mind and the destruction of ego and ignorance. A lotus flower (Padma) is often present, signifying purity and spiritual unfoldment. Finally, a mace (Gada) represents power and strength. Note that in this statue, the deity is presented with a Chakra, Padma, Gada, and his fourth hand is positioned in blessing.Copper: A Sacred Metal
