    Vaishnavism is a major tradition within Hinduism that is focused on the worship of Vishnu or his various incarnations, including Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. It is grounded in devotion and love for Vishnu (also known as Narayana), who is regarded as the supreme God in this tradition. Vaishnavism promotes values of compassion, selflessness, and peace, and emphasizes moral virtues such as truthfulness, non-violence, and duty. Its theology, philosophy, and rituals are elaborately detailed in various ancient Indian scriptures and epic texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, and the Bhagavad Gita. The followers of Vaishnavism are known as Vaishnavites or Vaishnavas.
