Engrave Varaha the Boar Plaque Showpiece - 23 cm

Varaha, the boar, appeared in the Satya Yuga. The boar incarnation is the third incarnation of Vishnu. He appeared 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and restored it to its place in the universe.This illustration of Varaha is from a series on the 11 Avatars of Vishnu originally made by Nina Paley for the ooklyn Museum.We have engraved the illustration on a circular plaque fitted with a keyhole hanger on the back. A set of three different avatar plaques hung on a wall is a great way to showcase your spiritual beliefs while earning you wows from guests.
