Varaha is generally listed as third in the Dashavatara, the ten principal avatars of Lord Vishnu who takes the form of a wild boar to rescue Goddess earth .
According to Hindu mythology, when the demon Hiranyaksha tormented the earth (personified as the Goddess Bhudevi) and its inhabitants, she sinks into the primordial waters. Lord Vishnu then took the form of the Varaha, descended into the depths of the oceans to rescue her. Varaha slew the demon and retrieved the Earth from the cosmic ocean, lifting her on his tusks, and restored Bhudevi to her place in the universe.
Varaha may be depicted as completely a boar or in an anthropomorphic form, with a boar's head and the human body. His consort, Bhudevi, the earth, is often depicted as a young woman, lifted by Varaha.
