The legend has that Goddess Boodevi was abducted
by the demon Hiranyaksha and hid her on the Rasathala, deep under the ocean. Lord
Brahma was in a dilemma to resume his ‘Creation’. He approached Lord Vishnu to find a solution
for this serious issue. Lord
Vishnu transformed into a wild boar and plunged into deep under the ocean. He killed the demon Hiranyaksha gracefully
lifted Boodevi from the deep ocean. Thus,
Lord Vishnu saved Mother Earth from the clutches of the demon; therefore this
sacred land came to known as Varaha Kshetram.
