In Buddhism, Garudas are mythical bird-like creatures whose wingspan is said to be many miles wide and who bring hurricaine-force winds with the flap of their wings. The garudas waged a long-standing war with the nagas, the serpentine water spirits and are thus are depicted with a snake in the mouth. After the Buddha protected nagas from a Garuda attack, both nagas and garudas took refuge in him.
Garudas are common subjects of Buddhist and folk art throughout Asia and statues of Garudas abound to "protect" temples.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the Garuda is one of the Four Dignities—animals that represent the courageous characteristics of a bodhisattva. These four animals are the dragon representing power, the tiger representing confidence, the snow lion representing fearlessness, and the garuda representing wisdom.
