Neelkanth Varni was the name taken by Ghanshyam Pande, a young yogi who began his journey to India in its entirety after the demise of his parents. Here we have a fine brass idol of Neelkanth Varni, a Vaishnava saint honored today in Gujrat and surrounding regions as an embodiment of devotion, wisdom, love for humankind, and asceticism.
In his left hand, Neelkanth Varni holds a kamandalu and in the right hand, he has a lotus bud, a symbol of pureness. A simple lion cloth is wrapped around his thinning body owing to his strict self-discipline. A small bundle of food hangs around his neck, enough to keep his body and soul together. As a result of his Tapasya, Neelaknth Varni attained divine wisdom and is worshipped today as Swami Narayana.
