Sri Dustara Rama

This is Sri Dustara Rama - unconquerable Lord Rama. He is a salagram-sila, a manifestation of Lord Visnu in the form of a special stone that is found only in the Kali Gandaki river high in the mountains of Nepal. Different salagram-silas correspond to different incarnations of Visnu, and are identified by scriptural descriptions of their markings.

I'll post another picture of Sri Dustara Rama's specific markings that identify him as an incarnation of Lord Rama later. Right now I have to do my morning duties and then catch a flight to Sydney where I'm manning a booth at Linux Conf.AU and visiting the temple and devotees there.

Sri Dustara Rama ki jay!
