वाराही, वाराही देवी, बाराही देवी
इसे वाराही देवी के नाम से जाना जाता है। मूल संस्कृत शब्द वाराह है जिसे शूकर, सूअर, वराह, बाराह या बराह कहते हैं। वाराह रूपधारी विष्णु की शक्ति को वाराही देवी कहते हैं। बोलचाल में इसे बाराही देवी भी कहते हैं। उत्तराखंड में बाराही देवी का मंदिर भी है। विकीपीडिया में इस देवी का सचित्र वर्णन दिया गया है। यहाँ देखें -
Varahi (Sanskrit: वाराही, Vārāhī)[note 1] is one of the Matrikas, a group of seven or eight mother goddesses in the Hindu religion. With the head of a sow, Varahi is the shakti (feminine energy, or sometimes, consort) of Varaha, the boar Avatar of the god Vishnu. In Nepal, she is called Barahi.
Varahi is worshipped by all the three major schools of Hinduism: Shaktism (goddess worship); Shaivism (followers of the god Shiva); and Vaishnavism (devotion to Vishnu). She is usually worshipped at night, and according to secretive Vamamarga Tantric practices. The Buddhist goddesses Vajravarahi and Marichi are believed to have their origins in the Hindu goddess Varahi.

शूकरी के सिर वाली / मादा सूअर के सिर वाली
sow-headed के लिए आप शूकरी के सिर वाली या मादा सूअर के सिर वाली इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं |
" बाराही मादा सूअर के सिर वाली हिंदू देवी हैं |"
" बाराही मादा सूअर के सिर वाली हिंदू देवी हैं |"

एक हिंदू देवी जिनका सिर सूअर का और शरीर नारी का है ।
This is meant to be a complete explanation. The alternative
एक हिंदू देवी जिनका सिर सूअर का है |
somehow seems incomplete in Hindi.

एक वाराह मस्तकी हिन्दू देवी
मुझ से पूर्व इसका उत्तर देने वालों ने इसका एतिहासिक एवं अन्य पक्ष प्रस्तुत कर दिए हैं,, इसमें रावल साहब ने वाराहीदेवी का इस्तेमाल किया है जो मुझे उचित जान पड़ता है,,हालांकि मैं पूरे वाक्य का अनुवाद उपरोक्तानुसार ही करना चाहूंगा।
