Among the Hindu trinity, Vishnu is the Preserver. He is the guardian of dharma, the principle that orders the Universe and protects all that is good in the world. In Hindu iconography, Vishnu is often depicted reclining upon Adi Shesha, an enormous serpent with multiple hoods, floating upon primordial waters. Vishnu's consort is the radiant Lakshmi, Goddess of wealth and prosperity. Their benevolence towards devotees is legendary and their rewards lavish.
