An Idol Of Lord Vishnu

Among Lakhs of gods worshipped by the Hindus all over the world, Lord Vishnu is one of the most significant deities. He is considered to be the Supreme God. Moreover, he is also conceived as “the Preserver or the Protector”. It is believed that Lord Vishnu assumes five forms:

.           The Para form, i.e., the Paravasudeva.

.           The Vyuha Form, i.e., the form of Krishna, Sankarshana, Anirudda, Pradyumna.

.           The Vibhava form.

.           The Antaryami form

.           The Arcavatara form.

.Mohini:

          Of all the avataras Mohini is the only female avatar, but the most beguiling of them all. She is portrayed as an enchantress, who maddens lovers, sometimes leading them to their doom. Unlike the Dasavataras, which appear on Earth during a certain period, Vishnu takes up Mohini avatara during many time periods. In the original text, Mohini is referred to as simply an enchanting, female form of Vishnu. 

The fact that Lord Vishnu is one of the most worshipped Lords in this world can be proved from the amount of idols of Lord Vishnu bought by people.
