Varaha Avataram is from RaniKiVav, Patan #Gujarat
We Visit temples but rarely pay attention to what Murtis of our gods had to convey us
1) Prabhaavali/PrabhaaMandala- Like ring of light around God, it's a ornamental circular ring with many "Jwalas" or emblems related to the God.
Here we can see Avataras of Sri Vishnu
2) Padma Chatra/Atapatra - Used for high dignitaries. It's the symbol of High Spiritual power. How did they sculpt that delicate umbrella & it stays there without breaking for generations?
3) Bhudevi - Rescued form patalaloka being drowned
by Asura Hiranyaksha with bhujaaMadhya (Elbow). Observe that affectionate touch of Bhudevi on Varaha Mukhi
4) Kaumodaki Gada - Symbol of supreme Sovereignty
5) Varaha Avatar – the third avatar of SriVishnu - the god himself.
6) Panchajanya Sankha-Representation of Pranava
Nadam – AUM. Instruction of a commander for war on evil forces.
7) Sudarshana Chakra - Represents Dharma. Cycle of Samsara
8) Katyavalambita Mudra - Hand hanging down to rest on hip. Indicates the posture of ease & confidence at which Varaha handles Hiranyaksha.
9) Alidam - the PadaMudra of action also seen in Tripurantaka, Anjaneya & Arjun
0) Patalaloka - from where Bhudevi
is rescued, we can see the Nagaraja & Nagarani in Anjali mudra.
