To identify the type of shaligram, observe its shape, markings, color, and weight, and consider its origin. Genuine shaligrams from the Kali Gandaki River in Nepal feature natural markings such as lines, dots, and spirals, a black or dark brown color, and a smooth, polished surface. The presence and arrangement of specific markings are believed to correspond to different forms of the god Vishnu.
