Hayagriva Shaligram Shila - IV

The Hayagriva Shaligram is a rare and divine Shaligram that distinctly resembles the form of Lord Hayagriva, the horse-headed incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Its unique shape is marked by a clearly visible curved and elongated formation on one side, mimicking the shape of a horse's head and mane. The Shaligram has a smooth, rounded body with deep grooves on one side, symbolizing the presence of the horse’s mane, while the other side displays subtle impressions representing the divine features of Lord Hayagriva. These natural markings make it instantly recognizable as the Hayagriva form of Vishnu.
The Hayagriva Shaligram is found primarily in the Gandaki River in Nepal, where these sacred stones are naturally deposited and revered for their divine qualities.
