Lord Vishnu symbolizes the aspect of the Supreme Reality (Brahman of the Upanishads) that preserves and sustains all things and beings in the manifested world. Although there are some variations in images and pictures of Lord Vishnu, He is generally depicted in a human form with four arms. He is portrayed carrying in his hands a conch (shankha), a discus (chakra) and a mace (gada). He wears a crown, two earrings, a garland (mala) of flowers around His neck and a gem (kaustuba) on his chest. He has a blue complexion and wears yellow clothes. The Lord is shown in a reclining posture on a thousand-headed serpent (named Sheshanag). The serpent stands with its hoods open like canopy over te head of the Lord. His vahana is the eagle.
Sri Maha Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth and prosperity, both material and spiritual.

In Her images and pictures, Sri Lakshmi is depicted in a form with four arms. She wears red clothes with a golden border and is seated on a lotus. She has gold coins, a half-open red lotus, and a golden, fully blossomed lotus in Her hands.
