Bhu Varaha is one of the five forms of Varaha avatar of Mahavishnu. Lord Vishnu took Varaha as his 3rd incarnation to rescue Goddess Bhudevi from demon Hiranyaksha. Bhumi Devi or Varahi is the divine consort of Varaha. Bhu Varaha is usually seen depicted as standing with two arms holding Sudarshana Chakra and Shankha and the other two holding Goddess Bhu Devi.
