Garuda: The Mighty Eagle

Garuda is not merely a vehicle; he is a powerful and revered deity in his own right. Known as the king of birds, he is a symbol of strength, speed, and unwavering devotion. Legend says that Garuda was born with immense radiance, mistaken for Agni, the god of fire. He is known for his heroic deeds, including his quest to obtain Amrita (the nectar of immortality) to free his mother from servitude. His wings are said to generate powerful winds, and his keen eyesight allows him to see across vast distances. In this painting, Garuda's imposing figure is rendered with meticulous detail, his feathers displaying a rich tapestry of color, emphasizing his vital role in the divine narrative.
