Varaha Dvadasi celebrates Lord Varahadeva, the divine boar incarnation who lifted the Earth from the cosmic waters.

Significance of this day

Lord Varaha rescued Bhumi Devi and defeated Hiranyaksha, demonstrating that the Lord descends to protect His devotees and restore cosmic order.

How it is observed at ISKCON Asansol

  • Devotees hear the Varaha pastime from Srimad Bhagavatam, offer prayers and worship, and observe the prescribed fasting and feasting schedule.

Dates follow the authentic Gaudiya Vaishnava calendar observed at ISKCON Mayapur, calculated for our region. Timings for fasting and breaking the fast are announced at the temple.
