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 .
