<p>[QUOTE="antiquelover69, post: 9590613, member: 9241"]You have being a great help.I never thought of looking for Hindu gods and goddesses.This is what I found,a boar's head and woman body. Varahi (Sanskrit: वाराही, Vārāhī) is one of the Matrikas, a group of seven mother goddesses in the Hindu religion. Bearing the head of a sow, Varahi is the shakti (feminine energy) of Varaha, the boar avatar of the god Vishnu. In Nepal, she is called Barahi. In Rajasthan and Gujarat, thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
