Pashu Varaha

District Museum- Vidisha

This grand Varaha sculpture captures Vishnu in his boar form, heroically lifting the Earth goddess Bhudevi from the depths of the cosmic ocean. Beneath him coils Sheshanaga, the cosmic serpent, symbolizing the vast forces of the universe that Vishnu helps keep in balance. The entire composition is rich with symbolism—carved around Varaha are gods, sages, and planetary deities, reflecting his role in upholding ritual and cosmic order. Brahma is seated atop his head, Saraswati rests gracefully on his snout, and eight directional figures stand at his feet, grounding the sculpture in both myth and cosmology. It’s a stunning vision of divine power, balance, and protection.
