A Guide to Statue Types & Placement at Home for Lord Vishnu

The protector of the cosmos, the head of the Hindu pantheon, and the Supreme Being of Vaishnavism is Lord Vishnu. He was also known by the names Hari and Narayana. He is one of the three most important manifestations of God according to Smarta tradition and is known as "the Preserver or the Protector" within the Trimurti, the Hindu Trinity of Gods.

Placement Of Lord Vishnu: 

Typically, two ways are used to worship deities. The idols that are installed in the temples at our homes or the communal temples are one sort. They are Prana Pratishthita, constructed with appropriate ceremonies, and the location serves as the Lord or Goddess's residence. 

If the temple is located at a person's home, the worshipper, or Yajnamaan, is the renter. The second category includes the idols we bring home for celebrations. As we build pandals for Ganpathi and Durga Pooja. They are our guests, and we serve them (Aatithya) and say goodbye to them by performing Visarjana after the festival.

Therefore, basically any Shri Vishnu idol can be imported and installed in the temple at home, with his Haripriya Mata Lakshmi appearing on his Vamanghi (Left side). They may (but need not) be seated cross-legged in Sukhasana Mudra on a lotus or the Anantha Shayya (serpent bed) in the four-armed form of the Lord while holding his Sudarshana and the Panchajanya conch.

You can pray to them when you first place the idol, asking them to agree to remain with you in this form and accept your love and service.

This particular statue of the four-armed Vishnu, or Perumal as he is known in Tamil Nadu, is quite a typical and lovely piece. The Tamil word for "The Great One" is Perumal.

Perumal is supported by two exquisitely made pedestals, one lotus-shaped on top of the other. In addition to holding a Gada in one of his lower hands, he is holding Chakra and Shankha in his two upper hands. Vishnu signals to the universe's creatures that they have nothing to fear and that he is always there to provide for them by raising his free hand in the Abhaya mudra.

Sudarshana, the rotating disc, is thought of as Time personified and is a dreadful weapon. At Perumal's command, Sudarshana launches and moves. Shankha is the name of his conch. It represents the Vedas or unadulterated knowledge. The Kaumodaki club is located in Gada. Vishnu uses Kaumodaki tenaciously to defeat Adharma.

Vishnu is depicted donning a priceless, exquisite crown. He wears fish-shaped earrings with their ends connected with the tip of the ear shields, and his upper ears are adorned with ear shields all around. He gives a lovely smile.

He has one long necklace and three different kinds of small necklaces. From his left shoulder over his chest and behind his waist, a Yagnopavitam (holy thread) may be observed. His torso is wrapped in a jeweled belt that is fastened just below his chest. Devi Lakshmi, who is Vishnu's consort and is eternally bonded with him, is represented by the tiny triangle that can be seen just over his right nipple.

His upper arms are adorned with lovely armlets, and each of his four wrists is adorned with intricately carved bracelets.

His lower part is covered by a garment known as Pitambar. Vaishnava shastras compare its brilliance to the golden-yellow color of early sunlight and claim it to be extremely dazzling. A belt-like strip, which is a stunning, regal combination of interwoven jewelry and clothes, holds Pitambar in place.

Ananta Shayana Vishnu as Govindaraja is another form of Lord Vishnu. It is a perfect statue to place in your home. The titular deity of the well-known Govindaraja Swamy temple in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.

Vishnu is shown as Govindaraja Swamy lounging on Adisesha or Ananta (also known as Anantashayana), a servant-devotee of Vishnu who takes the form of a huge snake to serve as his couch. Sesha covers Vishnu with his hood and transforms his five coils into an opulent bed while doing so.

Vishnu is seen lying on Sesha while holding four hands. While his two consorts Sri Devi and Bhu Devi sit by his feet tending to him, he is in yoga Nidra (conscious sleep).

The conch (shanka) and Sudarshan chakra (also known as Sudarshana) are held in the top hands of the four-armed Govindaraja. His feet are on a lotus, and he has his head resting on one of his hands. His other hand has gently extended to rest on his slightly bowed knee.

The Bronze Idol of Vishnu as Vamana Trivikrama is another style of Lord Vishnu’s statue. The meaning of Ulagalanda Perumal is "Lord who measured the universe." In Tamil, this incarnation of Vishnu is known as Trivikrama or Vamana. 

The word "Koil," which means "dwelling of God" in Tamil, refers to the deity Ulagalanda Perumal Koil at Singanallur in Tamil Nadu. In this image, Vishnu is depicted as Trivikrama, eight-armed and bearing a variety of weapons, with one leg elevated to the sky to measure the world.

This stunning sculpture captures Vamana's transformation into Virat (immense) and the raising of his leg to take his maiden step.

The eight-armed Ulagalanda Perumal holds a chakra (disc), khadga (sword), and bana (arrow) in his three right hands, while his fourth hand is elevated in the abhayahasta stance, which gives the gods bravery. His left hand is holding something. He is holding a conch, a shield, and a bow with his left hand, and he is counting his first step with his fourth hand, which has its index finger up.
