Vishnu is the god of protection and creation. Vishnu is represented with 4 weapons in his hands. Many times the demon would come to Earth and destroy the balance between good and evil, and destroy parts of the world, if not the whole world. Vishnu then "repairs it" or rebuilds earth, and sets the balance back to normal.
