Origin Backstory

In Hindu epics like the Mahabharata, Garuda hatched fully grown from an egg laid by Vinata, enslaved by her sister Kadru's serpents. Fueled by rage, he bargained with the gods for immortality nectar to free his mother, battling Indra and proving his supremacy. Vishnu, impressed, made Garuda his eternal mount and emblem. Enemy of serpents (nagas), Garuda symbolizes speed and martial power, devouring snakes while serving as protector against venom and evil in Vedic lore.
