Vishnu

Vishnu is one of the most important divine forms of Hinduism and shows himself in a variety of manifestations. His avatars include Rama and Krishna. In addition, Vishnu is part of the Trimurti, a union of the three cosmic functions of creation, maintenance and destruction, which is illustrated by Vishnu (maintenance), Brahma (creation) and Shiva (destruction). Common attributes of Vishnu include the Wheel of Dharma (chakra), the conch (sankha), the lotus (padma) as a symbol of wisdom and purity, and the mace (gada).
