When the demon king Hiranyakashipu tried to kill his own son Prahlad for worshipping Vishnu, the Lord burst out of a pillar as Narasimha, half man and half lion, to protect His devotee. Once His fierce anger was calmed, Goddess Laxmi sat beside Him, and the Lord took this gentle, blessing form known as Lakshmi Narasimha.

This Narasimha Laxmi Ji statue is personally hand-carved by skilled artisans from a single block of rare natural red Shaligram stone from the Gandaki River in Nepal. Red Shaligram is very rarely found, which makes this piece truly exclusive.

About this piece: Carved on rare red Shaligram stone, this piece shows Lord Narasimha seated with Laxmi Ji at His side, sheltered by a many-hooded Sheshnag, all carved in deep relief on a single upright slab. Because every piece is carved by hand, the shape, tone and natural veins are unique to this piece.

Why choose a statue carved on Shaligram stone?

Shaligram stone is found only in the Gandaki River in Nepal and has been worshipped for thousands of years as a living form of Lord Vishnu. When a deity is carved on this stone, the sanctity of the stone and the form of the deity come together in one murti, which is why such statues are treasured for home worship. Its natural black tone, weight and veins also make every piece look and feel different.

The story of Shaligram stone

Shaligram is an ancient, sacred stone found only and only in one place on earth: the Kali Gandaki River in Nepal, high in the Himalayas near Muktinath and Damodar Kund. Long before the Himalayas rose, this land lay under an ancient sea. The creatures of that sea slowly turned into stone over millions of years, and the holy river still carries these stones down from the mountains today. Every Shaligram holds a piece of the earth’s oldest history.

The Puranas tell how this stone became sacred. Vrinda, the devoted wife of the demon king Jalandhar, cursed Lord Vishnu to become a stone. The Lord accepted her curse with love, blessed her to become the holy Tulsi plant, and promised to live forever as Shaligram in the Gandaki River. Another story tells of Gandaki, the river goddess, who prayed for years to have Lord Vishnu as her own child, and was blessed that He would always live in her waters as Shaligram. This is why Shaligram is always worshipped with tulsi leaves, and why Tulsi Vivah is celebrated every year.

Scriptures such as the Padma Purana say that a home where Shaligram is worshipped becomes as holy as a tirtha. In 2023, giant Shaligram boulders from the Gandaki were carried all the way to Ayodhya for the Ram Mandir, and devotees lined the roads to offer prayers as they passed.

How is this statue made?

Shaligram stone is extremely dense and hard, far harder than marble or sandstone, so ordinary iron chisels cannot shape it. Our artisans carve every piece personally by hand with diamond tools, working slowly and patiently so the stone does not crack. A statue above 6 inches takes around three to six months to complete, depending on the workmanship and detail. This is why no two pieces are ever the same.

Large pieces of Shaligram stone are very hard to find, so statues above 6 to 7 inches are considered rare and exclusive. The bigger and heavier the statue, the rarer and more precious it is.

How to care for a Shaligram stone statue?

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. After abhishek, dry it fully so no water stays in the carving. Do not use soap, polish or chemical cleaners, and lift the statue with both hands.
