Dear Sir,
 
From childhood adiyen felt attracted to Srirangam Garudazhwar by the majestic posture and the huge form that instills enormous reassurance to the bhaktas and removes fear. 
 
Adiyen came across the enclosed picture of Garuda from an Indonesian Museum (probably from Bali).  Incidentally, the official airline of Indenesia is named as Garuda.

Daer Sangeetha :
Garudan is found in the standing position with folded hands or in Kneeling position or with folded
hands  or in flying position with the Lord on His back . He carries the Lord's sacred feet in His 
palms during Garuda Sevai to reveal those feet as our sole protection . Four forms of Garuda
are seated on the walls of the temples like Taarkshyaa et al .They are for the protection of the Lord's temple .
Some times Garudan will have 2 hands and other times , He will have four hands ( two carrying VishNu
lakshaNa of Disc and Conch) . Most of the times , He will be placed opposite the Lord and in rare cases ,
He will be on the same peetam  with the Lord (SrivilliputthUr , ThErazhunthUr) .
 
Please refer to the e-books on Garudan in the Sundara Simham series ( Garuda DaNDakam) and
Ahobilavalli series ( Garuda PanchAsath) for more details on Garudan & His glories .

Greetings all,

What are the different postures of Garudan that we can find? Is there any significance for each posture?

Regards,
Sangeetha
