In Hindu iconography, Vishnu is typically depicted as a majestic figure with a pale or dark blue complexion and four impressive arms. He holds a beautiful padma in his lower left hand, a powerful Kaumodaki gada in his lower right hand, a sacred Panchajanya shankha in his upper left hand, and the mighty Sudarshana Chakra in his upper right hand. A classic depiction shows Vishnu reclining on the magnificent coils of the serpent Shesha, surrounded by his devoted consort Lakshmi as he brings the universe into reality through his divine dreams.
