About Garuda
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Garuda is a large legendary bird, bird-like creature, or humanoid bird that appears in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Garuda is the mount (vahana) of the Lord Vishnu. Garuda is the Hindu name for the constellation Aquila.

Garuda is known as the eternal sworn enemy of the Nāga (serpent race) and known for feeding exclusively on snakes. The image of Garuda is often used as the charm or amulet to protect the bearer from snake attack and its poison.

In Nepal, India, Indonesia and the rest of Southeast Asia the eagle symbolism is represented by Garuda. Garuda became the national emblem of Thailand and Indonesia; Thailand's Garuda is rendered in a more traditional anthropomorphic mythical style, while that of Indonesia is rendered in heraldic style with traits similar to the real Javan hawk-eagle. In Japan, Mongolia, and Myanmar, Garuda is represented as Karura, Khangarid, and Galon respectively.
