Although Shaligram stones are generally considered to be various forms of Lord Vishnu, there is an elaborate attempt made at times to further identify certain individual shapes and forms. Thus, there are Indian vedic Shaligrams representing some forms of Shiva, Shakti, Surya, and Ganesha. On close inspection, the stones reveal characteristic differences.
The marks of identification are many – like the number, location and shape of the ‘chakras’ or spirals present in them, the color and hue of the stones, the precise source of the stones, the lines and scratches on the surface of the stone representing the ayudhas of Lord Vishnu. The devotee needs to be acquainted with the form of the deity that a particular Shaligram symbolizes, before he proceeds to worship it.

The cost factor
In the Skanda Purana, it is said that there is not enough gold in the whole ‘brahmand’ or universe to equal the worth of even a single Shaligram. As such, there can never really be a price put upon the worth of a Shaligram. But since these ‘shilas’ or stones are so very difficult to obtain and bring from the treacherous mountainous terrains in the high Himalayas, we have to charge a price to cover the wages of people who go in search of these sacred stones, pay for their board and lodging, cover the high risk to life involved in bringing them from heights of over 12,000′ above MSL, and pay for travel, transportation and shipping costs to bring these Indian vedic Shaligrams to devotees around the world.
Beware of fake Indian vedic Shaligrams
If you seek to obtain a Shaligram, be advised that there are spurious, artificially carved black stones which are sold, at very low cost, as genuine Indian vedic Shaligrams by unscrupulous people. It is best to identify a genuine dealer or respected organization when you wish to obtain an absolutely authentic Shaligram. You can then be assured that the Shaligram you choose to worship will bear fruitful and beneficial results.
