Garuda Statue for Buddhist Altar | God of Strength and Vigilance

Handmade Garuda Statue For Religious and Meditative Purposes

We created this stunning gold Garuda Statue in our studio using a traditional Himalayan carving technique passed down from generation to generation from Nepal. This figure is comprised of copper, which was gilded in genuine 24k gold that provides it with excellent luster. In the statue, the mythical bird-like creature Garuda is depicted standing atop a human figure that represents Garuda's ability to defeat evil. The creature can be seen carrying a curved knife in his right hand and a skullcup in his left hand. The figure is surrounded by fiery motifs that add to the wrathful appearance of Garuda, a symbol of his role as a protector. The statue is beautifully painted with acrylic colors, enhancing its beauty. This statue's beautiful detailing and gold gilding are sure to capture the eye and add a sense of peace and tranquility to any setting.

Truly a perfect addition to your Buddhist shrine or can be used as a meditative accompaniment for yourself or for any devotee.

In Buddhism, Garuda is a giant bird of prey. They are sometimes also known as Suparṇa. This means "good wings, good wings." Like the Nagas, they combine the qualities of animals and sacred beings and can be considered the lowest of the Devas. Garuda has kings and cities, and at least some of them have the magical power to transform into human form when they want to deal with humans.
