EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Garuda, the mythical eagle-like being from Indian mythology, soaring through the heavens with the elixir of life, Soma or Amrita, in his grasp. Garuda is a significant figure in Hindu and Buddhist mythology, known as the mount or vehicle of the god Vishnu. According to ancient Vedic texts, Garuda was once a demon who was granted immortality by the gods after performing a noble deed. However, he later became a devourer of snakes, particularly the Nagas who guarded the Soma. The legend of Garuda stealing the Soma is a popular tale in Indian mythology. Soma was a vital liquid believed to sustain life and bestow immortality. The gods had hidden it from Garuda, but the cunning eagle managed to steal it by disguising himself as a cow and gaining access to the divine abode where it was kept. This photograph print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of Indian mythology. The image captures the essence of Garuda's power and majesty, with his outstretched wings, piercing gaze, and the Soma container in his talons. The intricate details of the artwork, from the intricately designed wings to the ornate patterns adorning Garuda's body, add to the mystical allure of this mythical creature. This photograph print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the history and culture of India. It offers a glimpse into the ancient Vedic texts and the myths and legends that have shaped Indian mythology and continue to inspire and captivate people around the world.
