Garudan

The celebration of the bird like the Phoenix, the griffin, the albatross is a sweet literary business as that of Garuda, the legendary half-man, half-bird of incredible strength, matchless wisdom and impeccable devotion. Born to sage Kashyapa and Vinata, Garuda was an envy to even gods and to enemies like the Nagas, his half-siblings. Garuda’s fearless pursuit of Amrit, the nectar of immortality, to free his mother from the Nagas’ deceitful bondage, is a heroic tale of determination. This majestic bird often shines in myths and classics.
