Garuda is depicted as having a golden body, white face, red wings, and an eagle's beak and wings but a man's body. He is ancient and huge, and can block out the sun. In Thailand it is known as Krut. Garuda is the Malaysia form of the Phoenix. The Japan also know the Garuda, which they call the Karura, although recent characters modeled on it retain the spelling ''Garuda'' (ガルーダ - see below). These three forms are local pronunciations of this Sanskrit name. Thailand and Indonesia have the Garuda as their national symbols; the Indonesian national airline is Garuda Indonesia. The Garuda is also known in Thailand as Krut Pha, which is actually a form of Krut, means Krut with stretched wings. Krut Pha in Thailand is a sign of Royal family.

can anyone verify if this: http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/las_vegas/vegas/mandalay_gargoyle2.jpg is a depiction of Garuda? It was a gargoyle/stature at the hotel casino Mandalay Bay at Las Vegas. thanks. Xah User:P0lyglut 20:35, 2004 May 3 (UTC) :Yes it sure looks like one, especially the shape of the beak the wings, especially the structure of the feathers. Furthermore this statue is located in the so called Mandalay hotel, isn' it? Then it must be a Garuda as Mandalay is a place in Myanmar. User:Meursault2004 10:01, 4 May 2004 (UTC) ::does Geruda sometimes are depicted with a reptilian tail? i looked at some web images and no geruda looks like it. Here's another photo [http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/las_vegas/vegas/mandalay2.jpg photo2] also note that there are a pair of these in front of an open arch. see [http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/las_vegas/vegas/mandalay.jpg photo] Thanks. Xah User:P0lyglut 14:56, 2004 May 4 (UTC) ::Well, it is possible that this statue is a so called reinterpretation of Garuda. In other words, this statue shows similarities with another birdlike mythological creature. I'm thinking of the Mexico Quetzalcoatl. The latter is a feathered snake. Well Mexico is closer to the US than Southeast-Asia. The tail of the Garuda is mostly not depicted that way. Still, the wings and the beak are Garuda like. I hope this answered your question a bit. Bye, User:Meursault2004 20:28, 4 May 2004 (UTC). ::thanks for the info! Probably a new design of Geruda as you said. The fact that its in Las Vegas probably doesn't warrant 100% authenticity... :) Xah User:P0lyglut 07:29, 2004 May 5 (UTC) ::You're welcome. Below I've put an image of a Garuda as depicted by a Balinese artist somewhere in the 19th century. You'll see that this Garuda has manlike features but still has no reptilian tail. User:Meursault2004 15:36, 5 May 2004 (UTC) I have deleted this statement, He ate snakes until a Buddhist prince taught him the importance of ascetic; Garuda then resurrected all the snakes he had eaten. Nowhere in Hinduism is such a concept taught. user: 67.106.157.231
