Shaligram Rocks: In Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu is said to have taken the form of Shaligram Stone to defeat the demon king Hayagriva. Since then, the stone has been worshipped as a symbol of Lord Vishnu's power and is considered to have divine properties.
The height of the idol is chosen so that on the day of Ram Navami, the rays of the sun fall directly on Lord Ram's forehead.
