Normally the further South you go the more expensive and rare " real "

Salagramas are. I seem to remember that some " real " ones can be

gotten at the Kadhi shop at one end (not the thousand lights end the

other end) of Mount Rd. However they are also available at Giri

Trading company in front of Kapilesvara Devastanam in Mylapore.

Normally of course it is better to receive a salagrama than buy one.

If you really don't want to buy one you have to go to Nepal (Gandaki

nadi) and there you can get them easily. I was recently in Citrakuta

(UP/MP border) and there they are for sale for a few hundred rupees

whereas in Chennai it becomes a few thousand.
