Lord Vishnu
one of the principal deities of Hinduism, known as the Preserver of the universe. Vishnu is worshipped across India and his statues are found in temples in every village and city. Carving his statue was considered one of the highest honours a sculptor could receive.
If your child asks about Lord Vishnu, tell them: "It is a word you might hear in Indian stories." Then ask them — "Where do you think you'd see Lord Vishnu in real life?" It opens a small conversation about Indian culture.
