SIDE NOTE: Vishnu is the second god in the Hindu triumvirate (or Trimurti). The triumvirate consists of three gods who are responsible for the creation, upkeep, and destruction of the world. The other two gods are Brahma and Shiva. In Vaishnavism tradition, Vishnu is the supreme being who creates, protects, and transforms the universe.
