Floating Statues of Hindu Goddess Vajravarahi (Varahi) in Bhutan :



Secrets of Vedas were passed from one Sage to another. Some of the buddhist monks who lost shastragya (battle of divine wisdom) got reconverted to Hinduism and later revealed these secrets to their fellow buddhist monks.

Varahi is worshipped by all the three major schools of Hinduism: Shaktism (Goddess Worship); Shaivism (followers of the god Shiva); and Vaishnavism (Devotion to Vishnu).

She is usually worshipped at night, and according to secretive Vamamarga Tantric practices.

Floating statue temple located in Chumphu nye in Paro, with almost 24 hours journey from main city Thimphu. The temple is situated at top of the hill – true to the Vedic practice.

Taking photos of the statue is not allowed in the temple. So no photos are found, however hard you search in chronicles, research papers or internet. The picture of Hindu goddess Varahi devi who is prayed in the form of Vajravarahi devi in Bhutan is shown above.

The idol worshipers are directed to the shrine by the monk, the shutters are opened, as per account shared by worshippers, then the monk showing Goddess Vajravarahi’s statue says ” the statue is floating” and proves it by sliding a paper currency under the foot of the statue. The devotees get mesmerized on seeing this wonderful statue

  1. Vaarahi amman is one of the Saivite Shakti deities with the group of goddesses known as saptamatas.By worshipping varahi with red flowers at night, all kinds of graham doshas and fears are removed.

  2. Can you please give us details of the exact location of it's temple, close by accommodations, poojas taking place, more info on its relevance. Certainly, we do not want to follow the Vamachara Marga, but be interested in the Satvika Parihars. Can any body throw more light into this ?

  3. We recently went there. It's very very difficult to reach temple.we hired horses but they took us while going upwards that too 30 % rest walking in deep forest. Climbing upwards is possible to mountaineers only. Luckily we went and while coming down total tracking. I strongly suggest tracking only to persons with strong health without any heart problem. One must have great tracking practice. Even local bhutanese dare to go there. Locally it's called chimpu ney .if we ask vajravarahi nobody gives us details.if you want to go then go with at least 2 attendants. It's about 16 km up and down. We reach up to 2000 to 2500 meters height. No oxygen problem..think thrice before going there.
    In temple varahi face is looking side wards. Not as shown above. Main monk in temple said main vajra varahi temple is in Tibet. We 7 people later thought only goddess called us and accompanied all the way

    1. Coming down is more problem . Walking on rocks . No steps.walking track was just 2 feet wide. Right side deep loya with heavy water flow in mountains with great sound. We started at 9 a.m and came down by night 9 p.m. after 6 p.m came down under cell phone lights. Horse men helped us to reach down safely. At several points of time we lost Hopes. Simply strain wise it can be compared as tracking thirumal temple 2.5 times and coming back immediately.
