About Varah Temple

Varaha is the symbol of the Hindu god Vishnu as a boar. Varaha is recorded as third in the Dashavatara, the ten important symbols of Vishnu. At the point when the evil presence Hiranyaksha stole the earth (embodied as the goddess Bhudevi) and concealed her in the primordial waters, Vishnu showed up as Varaha to protect her. Varaha slew the evil presence and recovered the Earth from the sea, lifting it on his tusks, and reestablished Bhudevi to her place in the universe. 

Varaha might be portrayed totally as a pig or in a human frame, with a hog's head and human body. His partner, Bhudevi, the earth, is regularly portrayed as a young lady, lifted by Varaha. The earth might be portrayed as a mass of land as well.

The most punctual renditions of the Varaha legend are found in the Taittiriya Aranyaka and the Shatapatha Brahmana. They portray that the universe was loaded with the primordial waters. The earth was the span of a hand and was caught in it. The god Prajapati (the maker god Brahma) as a hog (varaha) dives into the waters and brings the earth out. He likewise weds the earth from there on. The Shatapatha Brahmana calls the hog as Emusha. The epic Ramayana and the Vishnu Purana - considered here and there as the most established of the Puranic sacred writings - are the first to connect Varaha with Vishnu. Different Puranic sacred texts including the Agni Purana, the Bhagavata Purana, the Devi Bhagavata Purana, the Padma Purana, the Varaha Purana, the Vayu Purana and the Vishnu Purana portray the legend of Varaha with a few varieties.
