Placed in Ajna Chakra, the focal point of discernment - Varahi is the fierce boar-headed goddess, among the Sapta Matrikas as mentioned in Devi Mahatmyam. Assuming a martial form, this Shakti fought the demons Shumbh and Nishumbh and left their army quelled by her strength. This idol has a Vaishnavite interpretation of Varahi, seated half-crossed - this Ashtabhuja Varahi wears a Karanda Mukuta and is seen holding the Sudarshana Chakra, Panchajayanya, Hala, Musal, Pasa, and Ankusha. Blessing her children, she commands her protection with Abhaya and Varada mudras.
