“Photo of a 1000-year-old sculpture depicting lord Varaha lifting the spherical-shaped earth on his tusk”
What FACTLY found
The photo shared in the post shows the lord Varaha sculpture carved inside the 8th century Chalukyas-built Durga temple in Aihole, Karnataka. The ancient sculpture depicts lord Varaha lifting the Shankha (conch) on its tusk and Bhudevi (represented as a female goddess) in one of his hands. The sculpture does not show lord Varaha lifting spherical-shaped earth on its tusk.
