A Nepalese-style
statue of
Garuda, mount of the Hindu god
Vishnu
(fig.),
placed behind the Trailokya (Trelokya) Mohan
Narayan (Narayana) Temple on
Durbar Square in Kathmandu (fig.),
Nepal. Though described as a savage mythological bird,
and usually portrayed with the features of a bird
and the body of a human, he is here −apart from the wings− portrayed with a
more human-like appearance.
