A rare depiction of the universal form of Lord Vishnu, the brass conch shows the overarching power of the Lord Vishnu. When at the battle of Kurukshetra, a hesitant Arjuna didn’t want to raise arms against his kith and kin. Krishna convinced him that we are all to bear the fruits of our action in previous life. He talks about his incarnation to save his devotees from the evil forces. When an inquisitive Arjuna asked Krishna to show His universal form, Krishna appeared in His Vishnu form, with omnipotent, omnipresent powers

Lord Vishnu is also seen standing on the whirl of a lotus flower with four hands, which represent the four directions and indicates His absolute power in the four corners of the universe.
Each hand holds an item, such as a disc, lotus, conch, and mace. Of the four items, the conch represents the five universal elements. When the conch is blown, it is said to produce a sound related to the original vibration of universal creation. The Lord also blows His conch in calling everyone to turn to the higher reality rather than remaining in the darkness of material existence. This calling is the inner voice which nudges all beings of conscience to seek the Absolute Truth. If man does not heed the call, then the Lord may still use His conch to cut asunder the ego and material attachments of those who do not turn toward the spiritual path. The disc or chakra signifies the universal mind or awareness. It rids all darkness wherever it appears, and thus shows the path to higher awareness. The disc is called Sudarshan, the limitless power and light that destroys all forms of ignorance. Thus, Lord Vishnu allows it to cut off the heads of envious demons. It has six spokes and shows the revolving nature of the universe (maya) around an unmoving and changeless center. The Sudarshana Chakra, when shown alone, is often viewed as a person with four, eight, or sixteen arms, holding such items as a bow, arrow, trident, noose, and a poker. These are said to represent the will and power of the Lord to not only create but to also destroy the universe. The mace represents the cosmic intellect or knowledge. It is called Kaumodaki, meaning that which captivates the mind. It is also associated with time, which destroys all, and is thus also related to Kali, the power of time. When pictured as a deity, it is viewed as a female with two hands, positioned in respect. The lotus being twirled in His hand shows the revolving or changing nature of the universe. It also indicates the real purpose of human existence, which the Lord invites all to follow.

Vishnu is the maintainer of the material creation. Another name for Vishnu is Narayana. He is one of the Hindu trinity, along with Lord Siva and Lord Brahma, and superintends the mode of goodness. He is full in all six opulences-wealth, influence, beauty, fame, strength, and renunciation. He is renounced because he is not attached to anything in the material world. Lord Vishnu is considered to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead by Vaishnavas.He usually has four hands, which hold a conch shell (sankha), a disc (chakra), a club (gada), and a lotus flower (padma). He has a blue complexion and wears yellow garments. He wears a jewel on his chest called kaustubha. The club and the wheel are the Lord's symbols of punishment for the demons and miscreants. The lotus flower and conchshell are used to bless the devotees. When his incarnation is present on this planet, Lord Vishnu kills the demons and protects his devotees simultaneously.
Bhudevi and Sridevi, both either side of Vishnu (Lord Sri Venkateswara). Bhudevi is the fertility form in which She is Mother Earth. Sridevi is the wealth and knowledge of Her which is seen with Narayan. If both consorts are with Lord Vishnu, Sridevi is on his right and Bhudevi on his left

This magnificent ashtadhatu idol represents Laxmi Narayan. Lord Vishnu is reclining upon the coils of the five-hooded Great Serpent Sheshnaag. Vishnu represents him as Narayana not because he has Lakshmi with him but because he has Lakshmi in him. By the time of 'puranas', much ahead of Vishnu, Lakshmi-Narayana became the divine foundation of human society in India. One who worships Laxmi and Narayana their house becomes "Vaikunth". Peace prevails in the worshipper's house and at his workplace and it reaps wealth and comforts.Lord Vishnu's consort is Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth .Vishnu rests on the coil of snake known as sheshnaga. The world according to Hindu mythology and cosmogony, rests on the head of Sheshnaga, and when he shakes his head we have earthquakes.
