Salagrams can be identified as different forms of the Lord according to Their natural shape and markings. The markings are all natural, as found at the Kali-Gandaki River.
On the left is an unidentified Salagram Sila. However, this Salagram clearly has some gold in his mouth which can just barely be seen in the lower left part of the photo. On the right side of the photo is a small container which has 108 small pebble Salagrams inside.
