His role as the Preserver is to sustain the universe created by Brahma and maintain order in it. Vishnu does this by incarnating himself into the world in various avatars, Through these avatars, evil is defeated and dharma is restored.

Lord Vishnu’s wife - Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth.

Other names - Hari, Narayana, Thirumal, Perumal, etc.

Weapon - Sudharsana Chakra and Mace

Avatar and its purpose:

There are 24 avatars taken by Lord Vishnu, among the well known are 10 avatars. The Ten Incarnations or avatar of Lord Vishnu is commonly known as Dashavatar. Two of Vishnu’s most famous avatars are Krishna and Rama. Vishnu is the Protector and preserver of the universe. In order to protect the universe and dharma, he descended on earth in ten different forms or Dashavatar. The purpose of such avatars is to completely destroy evil and restore dharma.

 

Ten avatars of Lord Vishnu:

1st Avatar: Matsya (The Fish)

Matsya is the first avatar of Vishnu. He is the half fish, a half-human form of Vishnu (i.e an aquatic animal) who can survive only in water. He is said to be the avatar that rescued the first man, as well as other creatures of the earth, from a great flood. Matsya gave warning about the coming of the flood and ordered all the grains and living creatures to be preserved in a boat.

2nd Avatar: Kurma (The Tortoise)

Vishnu’s second avatar took the shape of a human-tortoise called Kurma (the tortoise). During the fight between God and Giants for milk(Amirtham), churning from the snake, a mountain began to sink and Kurma then supported the mountain on his back and saved it.

The main purpose to take the form of a tortoise is to support the mountain on his back to churn milk(Amirtham) from the snake. 

After the Kurma avatar, Giants got the milk (Amirtham) luckily and devas got poison from the snake while churning. In order to take milk from Giants, Lord Vishnu has taken another avatar called Mohini avatar, and theft the milk from Giants and given it to the devas. 

3rd Avatar: Varaha (The Boar)

Vishnu’s third avatar called "Varaha" (shape of a human-boar). In this avatar, Vishnu had a human body with the head of a boar. This birth was taken to rescue "Bhoomidevi" from a very powerful demon called Hiranyaksha, who dragged the Earth to the bottom of the cosmic sea. Varaha went into battle with the demon for a thousand years. After the enemy was defeated, Varaha lifted the earth out of the water with his tusks and rescued Bhoomi Devi and restored order and balance.

 

4th Avatar: Narasimha (The Man-Lion)

Narasimha, the lion is Vishnu’s fourth avatar. He was half man and half lion. Narasimha defeated a powerful demon called Hiranyakashipu. He was particularly powerful because he received a boon, or magic power, from Brahma that made him invincible. He was unable to be killed or harmed by any humans or animals or any other things. So, Lord Vishnu took half-man and half-lion avatar to kill Hiranyakashipu.

Before this avatar, Hiranyakshipu began to cause trouble both in heaven and on earth. One day, He found his son Prahlada, praying to Vishnu and he was so upset. One day, when the demon challenged Prahlada, Vishnu emerged in the form of a man-lion known as Narasimha appeared, killed the demon through a loophole in the boon, and protected Prahlada. 

 

5th Avatar: Vamana (The Dwarf)

The above first four avatars of Vishnu were all in human-animal form and took place during the period called Satya Yuga, or the first age of the Earth. Vishnu’s 5th avatar, Vamana is the first of the avatars that took human form and lived during the Treta Yuga or the second age of the Earth. 

Vamana (the dwarf) appears when the demon king Bali ruled the universe and the gods lost their power. One day, Vamana visited the court of Bali and begged for as much land as he could cover in three steps. Laughing at the dwarf, Bali granted the wish.

The dwarf then appeared as the form of a giant(a big shape or big figure) and  took the whole earth with the first step and the entire middle world with the second step, and then Bali’s head with his third step.

Bali kept his promise to Vamana and gave him all the land in the universe. And then, Bali was then sent to rule the underworld, thereby maintaining order and balance once again.

6th Avatar: Parasurama (The Angry Man)

Vishnu’s sixth Avatar is Parasurama. In this avatar, he appears as a priest(Brahman), an angry man with an ax whose role was to kill bad kings, restoring the social order that had been corrupted by the Kshatriya caste and protecting humanity from danger. Parasurama received his ax from Shiva, along with the boon or gift of immortality.

King Kartavirya Arjuna and his army demanded a divine cow from Parasurama’s father and when he refused they took the cow by force and destroyed the family’s ashram. In revenge, Parasurama killed the king and his army. This act by Parasurama was then retaliated by the king’s sons when they killed Parasurama’s father. The revenge by Parasurama was continued after he killed King's son.

Parasurama then vowed to kill evil Kshatriyas for 21 generations, after which he stopped and meditated for the rest of his immortality. 

7th Avatar: Lord Rama (The Perfect Man)

Rama or Ramachandra, Vishnu’s 7th avatar, is one of Hinduism’s most well-known figures. He appeared in the story of the Ramayana. Rama is often depicted with blue skin, standing with a bow and arrow.
