Varaha Kchetra

Situated in the east of Nepal at the convergence of the Sapta Koshi and Koka rivers, Varaha Kchetra is considered as one of the most holy pilgrimage in Nepal. The fifth century statues welcome the pilgrims to the stone of sin. It is believed that whoever can lift the stone is set to be free of their sins. The legend says that Lord Bishnu took the form of a white boar to bring the world from the bottom of the cosmic ocean after his victory with a demon named Hiranyaksha.
