From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
It is said that this is where Krishna showed His form as Lord Varaha, the boar incarnation of Vishnu to the gopis. At Varaha ghata one can see a very rare Deity of Lord Varaha holding the earth on his tusk in a temple located here and known as the Varaha Mandira. There is also another place about two kilometers north of here on the old bank of the Yamuna known as Varaha Grama, (Barahara), where Krishna showed His form of Varaha to the cowherd boys. Lord Varaha is one of the presiding Deities of Vraja Mandala and His eternal residence is at Saukari-vateshwara (Batasar) just south of Agravana on the southern petal of the lotus of Vraja. After killing Hiranyaksha and lifting the earth from the Garbha Ocean, Lord Varaha rested at Mathura’s Vishrama Ghata where He spoke the Adi-varaha Purana to Bhumi Devi.
