Vishnu

Vishnu is the preserver and protector of creation.

Vishnu is the embodiment of mercy and goodness, the self-existent, all-pervading power that preserves the universe and maintains the cosmic order Dharma.

Vishnu never sleeps and is the deity of Shanti, the peaceful mood.

9 Vishnu incarnations are generally recognized as Vishnu avatars, even though some sources also see other important figures of the indian epics as incarnations of Vishnu.
