Vishnu with his 4 main insignia.

Vishnu (Sanskritm., विष्णु Viṣṇu, "the all-pervader") is one of the most important forms of the divine in Hinduism, but already occurs in the Vedas. In Vishnuism or Vaishnavism (from Sanskritवैष्णव Vaiṣṇava "belonging to Vishnu"), he is considered the manifestation of the Supreme. His Shakti, the feminine side of the divine, is the goddess Lakshmi, who is considered his consort.
