The Sudarshana Chakra (Sudarśanacakra) is a divine discus, attributed to Vishnu in the Hindu scriptures.[1] The Sudarshana Chakra is generally portrayed on the right rear hand of the four hands of Vishnu, who also holds the Panchajanya (conch), the Kaumodaki (mace), and the Padma (lotus)

In the Rigveda, the Sudarshana Chakra is stated to be Vishnu’s symbol as the wheel of time.[3] The discus later emerged as an ayudhapurusha (an anthropomorphic form), as a fierce form of Vishnu, used for the destruction of demons. As an ayudhapurusha, the deity is known as Chakraperumal or Chakratalvar.
