Shaligram stone, also known as Shalagram Shila, is a sacred fossilized stone revered in Hinduism, particularly in the worship of Lord Vishnu. These stones are typically black in color and are found in the Kali Gandaki River in Nepal, which is considered to be one of the holiest rivers in Hindu tradition.

Key Characteristics:

    Appearance:

        Shaligram stones are generally black and shiny with a unique smooth texture.

        They often have natural spiral markings or impressions resembling the sudarshana chakra (the discus weapon of Lord Vishnu).

    Significance:

        The Shaligram is considered a direct representation of Lord Vishnu.

        It is believed to bring health, wealth, and spiritual blessings to the devotee.

        Each Shaligram is associated with different forms and avatars of Vishnu, depending on its markings and structure.

        These stones are found exclusively in the Kali Gandaki River, which flows through the Himalayan regions of Nepal.

        The stones are believed to be fossilized remains of ancient sea creatures, mainly ammonites, dating back millions of years.
