Shaligram: Sacred Vishnu Stone from Nepal’s Gandaki River

Shaligram is one of the most revered symbols of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism. Unlike man-made idols, shaligrams are naturally formed fossil stones primarily found in the Gandaki River of Nepal, making them rare and extremely auspicious. Worshipping Shraligram is believed to invite peace, prosperity, protection, and liberation (moksha) into life.
