Shaligram stones hold immense religious significance in Hinduism and are revered as sacred representations of Lord Vishnu. These rare black fossil stones are primarily found in the Kali Gandaki River near the holy Muktinath Temple in Nepal, one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in the Himalayas. According to Hindu beliefs, Shaligrams are self-manifested forms of Vishnu and are worshipped without the need for ritual consecration.
