Considering that Vaishnavism is the primary sect of Hinduism and most of the Hindus consider Vishnu as the Ultimate Being himself, shouldn't Vaishnavism have the priority especially at the introduction? —

Also note that non-Vaishnavas generally do not worship Vishnu. So worshipping Vishnu as a concept almost always means worshipping the Absolute Being and Absolute Self. —

Vishnu is a pan-Hindu deity, not restricted to Vaishnavism. For
Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, we need to introduce him in a pan-Hindu context. Similar treatment is given in other references
Britannica, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Hinduism p. 759, dictionary of Gods and Goddesses p. 342.

This is regarding Gautam Buddha
I don't understand. Why are you saying this budda is the incarnation of Vishnu. This is completely false information. Remove this from Wikipedia.

Edit description by changes such as “in Vaishnavism one of the major contemporary within Hinduism ”
Add changes by supreme Being as Supreme Lord, in
Shiva Wikipedia it is mentioned as Lord, then why you mentioned in this page unauthentic, kindly edit clearly and give all importance to all Deities in Hinduism.

Change a Lord Vishnu Picture and add a common deception of Vishnu with four attributes .
Add a beautiful images of God Vishnu. Plz edit anyone.
Agree the main infobox image should be Vishnu alone, without the avatars.

There's a painting by Ravi Varma Press called Shree Vishnu that I think fulfils your criteria. According to one site it's supposedly from the 1920s - 30s. I'm still kind of murky about copyright and domain so I'm not sure how to upload it. Maybe we could get some consensus about this or another painting and try to make sure it will be here to stay before it replaces the current infobox image.

File:Vishnu.jpg is a good choice. Is only a picture of Viṣṇu in with four arms, blue skin, and holding conch, discus, mace, and lotus as in typical iconography.

Is this even public domain or just a random painting of Vishnu from Google? The artist, dating, and copyright status are all absent. We need a good representation plus these details to make an infobox image change stick.

Redtigerxyz I think despite the fact that Vishnu isn't generally depicted as seated, the Rajasthan school painting works.

I am changing for now, until a suitable representation can be found. We may also consider the following:
RedtigerxyzTalk 11:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)reply
User:Redtigerxyz, the image you suggest seems to struggle with balancing traditional painting style with Western influence, which is a bit off-putting artistically. Vishnu faces directly toward the viewer, but the artist does not seem to have a strong grasp on painting faces in Western photorealistic style nor proper 3D perspective. I think for an infobox image, the depiction should try to remain within a more firmly traditional depiction of painting or perhaps a pre-modern sculpture or idol of Vishnu.

Based on my experience, I think conventional paintings, immaterial of school, are generally the preferred representations of Hindu deities on the infobox. Of course, it's not a rule (Krishna, Lakshmana) but I'd personally be for a painting.
Chronikhiles(talk) 07:39, 29 April 2024 (UTC)reply
In talk page we didn't discuss about this image, we suggest only authentic image,Why you changed the old photo, atleast add previous image idol of Vishnu,see other Hindu deities , can you make changes? This is very propaganda on Vaishnavism.I know you are shaivism, you jealous on Bhagavan Vishnu. Shame on you.
