Album Info:

The temple is really a Shaivite temple - and is NOT dedicated to the Varaha (Boar) incarnation of Vishnu. The Varaha is the family crest/insignia of the Vijaynagar kings (probably borrowed from the earlier Chalukya dynasty). This insignia is carved at the eastern entrance way, and hence the name of this Temple.
