'twenty-four forms')[1] is the representation of twenty-four aspects of the deity Vishnu in Hindu iconography.
They are believed to be the most significant of the thousand names of the deity featured in the Vishnu Sahasranama.
[3] The names of these aspects of the deity are ritually chanted in daily prayer by adherents.
The chaturvimshatimurti are all represented as standing and holding the four attributes of Vishnu: the Sudarshana Chakra (discus), Panchajanya (conch), Kaumodaki (mace), and Padma (lotus).
[5] All of the forms wear the kiritamukuta, the crown of Vishnu, and the traditional ornaments of the deity.
