Garuda

Garuda is a powerful mythical bird revered in both Hindu and Buddhist traditions, symbolizing strength, speed, and divine protection. In Hinduism, he is the mighty mount of Lord Vishnu and a fierce enemy of serpents (Nāgas), representing the triumph of good over evil. In Buddhism, Garuda is a guardian figure who protects the Dharma and symbolizes the power to overcome ignorance and suffering. Often depicted as a majestic eagle-like being with human features, Garuda embodies courage, spiritual awakening, and the soaring pursuit of enlightenment across both faiths.
