The Varaha Temple At #Khajuraho (Devanagri: वराह मंदिर) Enshrines A Colossal Monolithic Image Of Varaha, The Boar Incarnation Of #Lord #Vishnu.
Lord Vishnu Appeared In The Form Of A Boar In Order To Defeat #Hiranyaksha, A Demon Who Had Taken The Earth (Prithvi) And Carried It To The Bottom Of What Is Described As The Cosmic Ocean In The Story. The Battle Between Varaha And Hiranyaksha Is Believed To Have Lasted For A Thousand Years, Which The Former Finally Won. Varaha Carried The Earth Out Of The Ocean Between His Tusks And Restored It To Its Place In The Universe. Vishnu Married Prithvi (#Bhudevi) In This Avatar. From Here Lord Vishnu Got The Title Of #Bhupati (Bhu = Earth + Path = Protector). Nowhere In India, Nepal Or Bali Will You Find A Temple Dedicated To Boar Or Even An Image Of Boar In A Temple. The Chandelas Decided To Honour The Wild Saviour Of Our Planet.
The #Varaha Purana is a Purana in which the form of narration is a recitation by Varaha.
The Boar’s Body Contains Carvings Of #Bhudevi (Mother Earth), A #Snake, #Dadhi Kumar (God Of Water), A #Crocodile, Eight Gods Of Directions,#Yakshas, #Gandharvas, Kinnaras, 12 #Adityas, 11 #Rudras, Seven #Matrikas, #Nava #Durgas And Other Demigods. These Are The Same #Demigods Who Requested Lord Vishnu To Bring The Earth Back. None Of The Gods Is Depicted On The Boar’s Body. Demigods Can Be Recognized From Their Ardhlalit #Padmasan(Half #LotusPose) As Opposed To Gods Who Are Always Depicted In A Complete Padmasan If Seated.
