Crystal Garuda
About Our Statue :
Our Crystal Garuda statue is made of copper with gold platings. It is finished with an antique oxidization process. The statue is then decorated with medium-quality stones to give it a charming appearance.
Introduction To The Garuda :
Buddhist literature refer to golden-winged birds as garuda or garula. They are considered to be one of the eight classes of agatya, or nonhuman entities, according to the Buddhist doctrine. They are seen reclining and listening to the Buddha's teachings in Buddhist art. They are snake opponents and occasionally have a serpent grasped between their claws in art. Buddhist traditions frequently use both zoomorphic (a large bird like an eagle) and partially anthropomorphic (a bird with parts of a human body) symbolism.
The Garuda are considered to be huge eagles in Buddhism. Suparna, which means "well-winged, having good wings," is another name for them. They are similar to the Nagas in that they exhibit traits of both animal and celestial entities, making them one of the lower devas. When the Garudas want to interact with mankind, at least some of their rulers and cities can magically transform into human shapes.

How do take care of your statues?
- Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
- Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
- Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
- Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
