Hi. Is it possible to search through multiple indices(having different document and fields), merge them and then visualize them together. If yes, can you please help me with this.

It is. If you create an index pattern that matches the different indices you wish to treat as a single entity, then you can accomplish this. You could use index aliases to help coerce the names into something easy to make an index pattern to match.
