Note:

Varaha is the third avatar of Vishnu, associated with the legend of lifting the earth out of the cosmic ocean. When Bhumi, the goddess and personification of earth, is dragged into the primordial waters by the demon king Hiranyaksha, Varaha slays the evil yaksha and lifts the goddess out of the ocean, restoring the earth's rightful place in the universe.
