In Hindu, Buddhist, and Japanese mythology, Garuda is a legendary, divine creature often depicted as a giant bird, usually an eagle. In Hinduism, he is most commonly known as the mount (vahana) of the god Vishnu, symbolizing immense power, strength, and speed. Garuda is typically shown with the body of a human and the head, wings, and talons of an eagle.

Garuda is similarly seen as a protector of the Buddha and the Dharma. He represents strength, knowledge, and the ability to overcome obstacles. His image in Buddhist iconography is often depicted as a protector figure, featured in statues and paintings. Garuda's symbolism encompasses a broader range of virtues, including loyalty, valor, and fearlessness. He embodies a unique blend of celestial power and earthbound wisdom, making him one of the most revered mythical creatures in the ancient Asian mythologies.

Introduction To The Garuda :

Garuda is a gigantic bird of prey in Buddhism. They are also sometimes known as Suparna, which translates to "good wings, good wings." Like the Nagas, they mix the attributes of animals and sacred beings and are the lowest of the Devas. Garuda has rulers and towns, and some possess the magical ability to transform into human shapes when interacting with humans.

How do you take care of your statues?

• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by the Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face.
• Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
