Vishnu riding the Garuda.

The tale of Garuda and Vishnu is a well-known story from Hindu mythology. It involves two important characters: Garuda, a divine bird, and Lord Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. This tale showcases the bond between devotion, duty, and the concept of dharma (righteousness).

Garuda's unwavering dedication to his mother and his determination to fulfill his duty to save her from slavery showcase his virtuous character. During his quest, Garuda encountered Lord Vishnu. Impressed by Garuda's devotion and determination, Vishnu granted him a boon. Garuda was asked to be the mount of Vishnu, carrying him on his back. Vishnu also blessed Garuda with immense strength and immortality. Lord Vishnu's blessings emphasize the significance of devotion to the divine, as well as the interplay between mortals and deities in Hindu mythology.
