Vaikuntha Chaturmurti or Vaikuntha Vishnu is a four-headed aspect of the Hindu god Vishnu, mostly found in Kashmir (northern part of the Indian subcontinent). The icon represents Vishnu as the Supreme Being. He has a human head, a lion head, a boar head and a fierce head. Sometimes, even three-headed but aspects of Vishnu where the fierce rear head is dropped are considered to represent Vaikuntha Chaturmurti. Though iconographical treatises describe him to eight-armed, he is often depicted with four. Generally, Vaikuntha Chaturmurti is shown standing but sometimes he is depicted seated on his vahana (mount) Garuda.

  • Вайкунтха Чатурмурти (букв. «четыре формы Вайкунтхи», Vaikuntha Chaturmurti) или Вайкунтха Вишну (букв. «Вишну Вайкунтхи», Vaikuntha Vishnu) — четырехликая форма индуистского бога Вишну, характерная для древнего Кашмира (северной Индии) и распространенная в древней Центральной Индии. В форме Вайкунтха Чатурмурти Вишну символизирует Высшее существо (Махавишну). Название отражает наличие четырех лиц: человека, льва (Нарасимха), вепря (Вараха) и демона (Капила). В ряде случаев из-за нимба или одностороннего изображения четвертая (задняя) голова демона отсутствует или не видна. Вараха спасает землю, Вишну как человек её поддерживает, а Нарасимха уничтожает демона. Вместе они олицетворяют космический цикл создания, сохранения и разрушения. Таким образом, Вайкунтха Чатурмурти олицетворяет Вишну (ru)
