Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This temple is dedicated to the araha or boar form of Vishnu. I remember this because the representation of Varaha is purely in animal form and the first time I’ve seen such a depiction rather than the anthropomorphic form. Other than that, the temple is a rather modest rectangular form with open plan of roof and plinth separated by columns.
This temple is amongst the first you’ll see as you enter the archaeological complex, so it’s worth a quick detour as a hors d'oeuvres before the main temples.

Just a incredible work of carving and architecture , with very perfect way.....
made in c. 900–925 AD like more then 1000 years old.. situated in Eastern Group of temples..
The Varaha Temple enshrines a colossal monolithic image of Varaha, the boar incarnation of Lord Vishnu. In hindu , Varaha is the third Avatar of the Lord Vishnu, in the form of a Varaha.
The statue of Varaha is 2.6 m long and 1.7 m high The sculpture is colossal and monolithic and made of sandstone. The sculpture is carved with numerous figures on its entire body. The sculpture carved between nose and mouth, depicts goddess (of Saraswati) carrying Veena in her arms.

This temple contains the statue of Varaha Avtara of the Lord Vishnu and faces the Lakshmana Temple. The figure of the Varaha is huge and beautifully decorated.

The Varaha temple is dedicated to the boar reincarnation of Lord Vishnu. On first look, the idol looks like an Elephant, but on closer inspection you realise that it is a boar. The temple is part of the Western temple complex and you can visit it by paying a common entry fee

Inside the western temple complex this temple is dedicated to VARAHA, the 3rd incarnation of lord Vishnu. Beautiful art wok and architecture is visible in all temples of this complex.
Single stone VARAHA statue is definitely worth to pose with.
Must visit.
