Sannidhapini Mudra - make a fist in each hand, with the thumb extended out; now bring together the fists so that the folded fingers are touching corresponding fingers of the other hand and the extended thumbs are vertical, facing upward; It is also called Hrudayaanuga Mudra, Samrodhini Mudra, NishThura Mudra when position of Thumb is varied these other mudras are formed. The extended outward thumbs as explained form Hrudayaanuga Mudra. If the thumb is taken into the fist in each hand, it is Samrodhini Mudra and another variation is the right thumb is placed in the left fist and left thumb is extended.

Varaah Mudra - place the left palm on the right palm with the thumbs separated from the adjacent fingers;similarly separate the little finger from the adjacent finger; palm is facing downward. This is used in Bharatanatyam to depict Varahavtar.
