The beautiful Patachitra painting of Lord Varaha is given a refine and detail treatment.
Lord Vishnu in His incarnation of Varaha (boar), dived into the ocean, and saved Bhoomi Devi who sank into the bottom of the ocean, with his massive snout. Vishnu as Varahamurthy is enshrined at Tiruvidandai near Chennai, and at the Kanchipuram Kamakshiamman temple. Here the Lord is shown saving the Mother Earth with his massive snout. |
