Rare Vintage Painting of Lord Sri Bhu Varaha (1790).

Varaha (in Sanskrit : वराह)
is the third Avatar of Lord Vishnu, in the form of a Boar.

He appeared in order to defeat Hiranyaksha, a demon who had taken the Earth 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.

Varaha is depicted in art as either purely animal or as being anthropomorphic, having a boar's head on a man's body.

In the latter form He has four arms, two of which hold the wheel and conch-shell while the other two hold a mace, sword or lotus or make a gesture (or "mudra") of blessing.

The Earth is held between the boar's tusks.

The significance of "Chhera Pahara" - at the Rath Yatra Festival, Puri, Odisha.

-----------------------------------------------

There is a saying "rathe ca vamanam dhrstva punar janma na vidyate" which means that a person who sees Lord Jagannath on the Chariot on the auspicious day of Puri Rath Yatra attains Moksha (salvation from the Birth-Death cycle)

Rath Yatra is celebrated every year on the occasion of Ashad Shukla Dwitiya that falls between the months of June-July.

This is the only time when Lord Jagannath and his siblings, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra, are brought out onto the Bada Danda (main street of Puri) and travel (3 km) to the Shri Gundicha Temple (the Mausima Temple) in huge chariots.

Also known as Shri Gundicha yatra or Car festival, it is celebrated to commemorate the annual visit of Lord Jagannath triad to their aunt's house, where they enjoy nine-day stay and are served with sweet pancakes.

There is a unique speciality regarding this Kal Garuda Sevai.

When taken out for a procession, until a step out from his sannadhi, he can be easily carried by 4 persons.

The moment he comes out, his weight would increase. He has to be carried by 8 persons, then further outside the praharam, again his weight would increase.

1. #Qanon told us that Saudi Arabia is a central piece of the puzzle in taking out the Deep State...we are watching the Deep State attempt to remove Crown Prince MBS and disrupt Pres Trump's administration's ties with MBS and the "new" Saudi/US coalition. Early in his admin,

2....@Potus sent Jared Kushner (JK) to SA on an undisclosed trip and told King Salman that business as usual was over, and if he wanted Pres Trump's support, Prince Alwaleed would have to be divested of $ and power; Alwaleed is one of top Deep State $ men and was tied to HRC.

3. @Potus knew that before he could begin cleansing the US and the rest of the world of the DS, he would have to cut one of the financial head's off the snake (Alwaleed). After JK met w/ King Salman, Alwaleed was arrested and divested of billions; MBS became leader of SA.

4. SA loves Pres Trump because he's a man of his word; SA could not trust Hussein or Clintons because they use SA for oil and leverage; SA has many factions, but essentially you have the new and upcoming SA that is attempting to modernize through Crown Prince MBS, and then you

5...have the old guard represented by Alwaleed who was one of the Deep State financial heads and loyal to the DS more than SA; SA knew Hussein was financing Iran to hold western world hostage, and SA was caught in middle of Deep State black mail; this is why @Potus was celebrated
