Varaha Shaligarm Shila

This Shaligram has unusual patterns and markings considered to represent the Varaha Avatar. The stone often has natural imprints like a boar's snout or face, as well as markings representing the Earth, which Bhagwan Vishnu held on to His tusks to keep it from sinking into the cosmic ocean.
