Bhu Prahalada Vigraham

22 July 2012: The English version of Narasimha Priya from Ahobila Math says of Prahalada: "The guards fell upon the boy and threw him down to the floor below...The Earth Goddess who holds up all creation rose and received the boy devotee carefully so that no harm befell him." This idol, which belongs to my private collection, depicts this story; the same is also described as a Kannada Vachana on my blog. Balaji Narasimhan | sherlockbalaji@[Link] | [Link]
