GIRI Trading, India’s largest spiritual products retail chain is hosting an exhibition on the auspicious occasion of Vaikunta Ekadasi. The unique exhibition is expected to entice spiritual seekers.
Saligrama stones are found on the riverbed of River Gandaki on the foothills of the Himalayas, and which is located at Nepal.
These stones are formed over millions of years, which were once upon a time, small pieces from specific trees. Various insects get in to these woods, pierce a small hole and leave a formation inside them.
Over the years, the wooden formations (fossils) turn hard and take the name of Saligrama. Each stone, based on the spiral formations inside the holes, take the name of an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Sharada Prakash, Director of Giri Trading Agency stated, “We are delighted to present this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for devotees to connect with their spiritual roots and receive divine blessings.
This event aims to inspire all attendees’ peace, prosperity, and positivity. We warmly invite you and your family to partake in this sacred celebration.”
This event offers devotees an unparalleled opportunity to receive blessings from the sacred Salagrama Shilas and witness the awe-inspiring prototype of Srimad Bhagavatam.
