Lord Vishnu Idol

Lord Vishnu is worshipped as the preserver of the universe, and his idols, from Anantha Padmanabha to the Dashavatar, are kept for peace and protection at home.

You can order the Lord Vishnu Idol online from Poduvals, or see it in person at our Bengaluru store.

Each piece is cast and finished by hand by traditional artisans, so small variations in detail and tone make every piece unique.

Where to keep it and how to use it

Keep the idol in the pooja room facing east or west. Thursdays and Ekadashi are traditionally dedicated to Vishnu.

Care

Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after pooja. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. A gentle polish with tamarind paste or a mild metal cleaner brings back the shine; after abhishekam, rinse and dry it fully.
