Varaha with Bhu, Pahari region, North India, around 1740.
The four armed Varaha is shown holding Vishnu's characteristic attributes, the discus, conch shell, a lotus and a club with which he strikes the sea-demon. Blood pours from the demon's chest and he staggers back, dropping his broken sword. Varaha lifts the earth balanced on is tusks, saving the earth goddes Bhu from the swirling black ocean.
