Mythology[]
Garuda : Garuda is a mythical bird, considered a lesser god (or demigod) in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is usually seen as a giant and anthropomorphic eagle: human body of golden color, white face, beak of eagle and big red wings. It is very old, huge and can cover the sunlight. He is chief of the race of birds and enemy of the race of snakes, son of Kaśiapa Muni and Vinatā. According to the sacred epic Mahābhārata, at the birth of Garuda the gods became frightened because of their terrible bodily luster. They assumed that it was Agni (the god of fire) and asked for protection. Then they discovered that he was a baby, and yet they praised him as a supreme being and called it Fire and Sun. Garudá, along with the rishis, helped break the suspension of hostilities between Indra (the king of heaven) and the pious Asura (demon ) Vritra.
