Another such instance is the form of Viṣṇu as Yōgēśamūrti, that is, Viṣṇu in the *yōga* attitude. This figure is found in the famous temple at Badarināth on the Himalayas, and replicas of it are even now in a few places such as Śrīraṅgam. One such replica was discovered recently at Bāgaḷi in the Bellary district of the Madras Presidency. Otherwise the worship of this form is rare. The instances given are enough to show the trend of change in Hindu faith in the matter of the choice of images for popular worship.
