Answer:
Vishnu (/ˈvɪʃnuː/; [ʋɪʂɳʊ]; Sanskrit: विष्णु, IAST: Viṣṇu, ISO: Viṣṇu, lit. 'the pervader'), is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. He is the supreme being within Vaishnavism, one of the major traditions within contemporary Hinduism.[5][6]
Vishnu is known as "The Preserver" within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that includes Brahma and Shiva.[7][8] In Vaishnavism tradition, Vishnu is the supreme being who creates, protects and transforms the universe. In the Shaktism tradition, the Goddess, or Devi, is described as one of the supreme, yet Vishnu is revered along with Shiva and Brahma. A goddess is stated to be the energy and creative power (Shakti) of each, with Lakshmi the equal complementary partner of Vishnu.[9] He is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism.[8]
According to the Vaishnavism sect, the highest form of Ishvar is with qualities (Saguna), and have certain form but is limitless, transcendent and unchanging absolute Brahman, and the primal Atman (soul, self) of the universe.[10] There are many both benevolent and fearsome depictions of Vishnu. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient sleeping on the coils of the serpent Adishesha (who represents time) floating in the primeval ocean of milk called Kshira Sagara with wife Lakshmi.[11]
Whenever the world is threatened with evil, chaos, and destructive forces, Vishnu descends in the form of an avatar (incarnation) to restore the cosmic order and protect Dharma. Dashavatara are the ten primary avataras (incarnations) of Vishnu. Out of the ten, Rama and Krishna avatars are most important.[12]

Vishu (Malayalam: Viṣu, Tulu: Bisu) is a Hindu festival celebrated in the Indian state of Kerala, Tulu Nadu region in Karnataka, Mahé district of Union Territory of Pondicherry, neighbouring areas of Tamil Nadu and their diaspora communities.[1][2][3][4][5] The festival marks the first day of Medam, the ninth month in the solar calendar followed in Kerala.[6] It therefore always falls in the middle of April in the Gregorian calendar on 14th or 15th April every year.[7][8][9][10]
Vishu (from Sanskrit-Malayalam Vishuva) literally means equal,[11] and in the festival context, it connotes the completion of the spring equinox.[6] The festival is notable for its solemnity and the general lack of pomp[6][12] The festival is marked by family time, preparing colourful auspicious items and viewing these as the first thing on the Vishu day( Vishukkani). In particular, Malayalees seek to view the golden blossoms of the Indian laburnum (Kani Konna), money or silver items, cloth(pattu), mirror, rice and other harvest products.[6][12][13] The day also attracts firework play by children,[6][14] wearing new clothes (Puthukodi) and the eating a special meal called Sadhya, which is a mix of salty, sweet, sour and bitter items.[13] The Vishu is celebrated by giving money [vishukai neetam], it is a blessing from the family by exchanging the money.
The Vishu arrangement typically includes an image of Vishnu, typically in the form of Krishna. People also visit temples like Sabarimala Ayyappan Temple or Guruvayur Sree Krishna temple or Kulathupuzha Sree BaalaShastha Temple to have a 'Vishukkani Kazhcha' (viewing) in the early hours of the day
