Vishnu here represents the Kaala Purusha
The Vishnu Sahasranama calls Him as,
'Chaturmurthi,Chatur Bahu', Chatur Vyuha, Chatur Gathi 'four headed, with four arms, four manifestations, and four Goals.

The first reference of Vishnu with Head appears in the Mahabharata.
Though I am unable to locate any temple associated with this form., there are Temples in Kashmir with this Icon.
If there is any temple or the Icon is known to some people, please send in the information.
