Varaha Kshetra Where Varaha Killed Hiranyaksha

Of the Avatars of Lord Vishnu, Varaha,Vamana and Parasurma are the least talked about, as compared to Rama and Krishna.

My assumption is that the Life story of Rama and Krishna are adventurous and are emphasized by Man, the Varaha and Vamana appeal more to fantasy,

because of the unimaginable feats,(though the Avatars are not Fantasies)..

In the case of Parasurama, world loves a Winner , even if it be God.

As a footnote, I may add that the Avatars of Vishnu where He appears as a Brahmin are least popular and talked about!

Take Vamana, Parasurama.

Vishnu Cut Devi, Fingers At Prayag Shakti Peeta

It is a shame we now call the place as Allahabad, which has no bearing to our culture.

Lord Shiva , stricken by grief at the death of His consort, was roaming the skies,with Sat's body, or what remained of Her Body after she immolated Herself.

This is the temple where as per the legend Sati's fingers had fallen.

Swami Brahmananda(Rakhal), first president of Ramakrishna math, spiritual son and one of the best student of Sri Ramakrishna paramahamsa, saw the goddess here as a small child with three Jatas. Trijata

It is famously called as Mata ji ka temple (or Lalita ) by the locals. Prayaga means Prakrishta Yaga, that means it is the place where Lord Brahma did a very great Yaga.
