He is considered as the creator of everything that exists on this earth. His heavenly abode is called as Vaikunth. He resides there with his consort Goddess of wealth and prosperity- Lakshmi; he is one of the principle deities in the tradition of Vaishanism. This abode is for him and Lakshmi ji and other liberated souls who have attained moksha. Vaikunth also called Paramdhama or the resident of God or a place where everyone finds peace and eternal satisfaction called moksha. He lives beyond the space and time continuum.
