He takes care of all the requirements of all the living being in the world. Lord Maha Vishnu is said to lie in the casual ocean or the Karanodak. He resides in the Ksheersagar.
All people in Hinduism follow Lord Maha Vishnu, but those who particularly worship the Lord or any of his avatars as their ishta devata are known as Vaishnavaites and the sub sect is called as Vaishnavism. There are one thousand names of Lord Maha Vishnu and the sloka which is chanted by devotees along with various mantras and prayers is the Vishnusahasranamam.
He has the eyes like the Lotus and has a thundering voice. He is pleasing, attractive, can be a prayed as a Lord, God or can be treated as a friend and has a calm composure and is blue in color Neelaroopa. He is all pervading and is the restorer of the moral order or dharma.
He has taken different incarnations and as the Dasha avatara to reestablish dharma or righteousness during the many stages and phases of evolution. Lord Maha Vishnu’s consort is Sri Maha Lakshmi who is worshiped by one and all especially in the Hindu religion. He took the form of a tortoise to retrieve the amritha from the cosmic flood and is the victor of infinity ever victorious.
His vahana is the Garuda Bhagwan a mythical Eagle who is famous in Garuda puran. He can be found anywhere, where you see a temple where Lord Mahavishnu is the presiding deity.

Chanting of the Maha Vishnu Mantra and other mantras in praise of the Lord and following the rituals, performing pooja, dhyanam and mangala aarti for the Lord on a regular basis rids oneself of impurities of the mind, partaking the prescribed food during the cleans the body of its toxins and purifies the soul.
Whenever you perform any pooja or religious act perform it for the well being of the whole world and its living beings followed with good deeds too. This will bring one and all peace, happiness, prosperity, success, well being, happiness and piece of mind. Jai Sriman Narayana.
