Garuda Deva statue image..Garuda ,the mighty bird, is known as the Chariot of Vishnu.He is all powerful and magical.According to the Hindu epic Mahabharata, when Garuda first burst forth from his egg, he appeared as a raging inferno equal to the cosmic conflagration that consumes the world at the end of every age. Frightened, the gods begged him for mercy. Garuda, hearing their plea, reduced himself in size and energy.It is said that Garuda's wings when flying will chant the Vedas.Worship of Garuḍa is believed to remove the effects of poisons from one's body....Although Garuda is considered to be Hindu deva as a symbol of impetuous violent force, of speed, and of martial prowess,he is also highly respected by Buddhists,both Theravaddin and Mahayana Tibetan,Mongolian and Japan as well.The garuḍas were among the beings appointed by Śakra to guard Mount Sumeru and the Trāyastriṃśa heaven from the attacks of the asuras.
