Description: GARUDA PHAYA KRUT THAILAND AMULET GarudaThe White Eagle of Vishnu The vehicle (mount) of Vishnu is the eagle Garuda. Just as Nandi, Shiva's vâhana (mount) is most often placed facing the god's sanctuary, outside the temple, similarly Garuda is not always at Vishnu's side, but just in front of the central sanctuary. However, in many depictions, such as the Gajendramoksha scene, Vishnu rides his eagle which leads him through the heavens.Generally, Garuda has a human face and eagle wings. Sometimes, only its body is human, with a raptor's face and wings. Both of his hands are brought in front of his chest and joined in a gesture of prayer. In metal images of Garuda, he is often seen with his left knee on the ground. A snake decorates his head (Garuda is a big fan of snake eating). In some cases, Garuda shows, with both hands, the abhaya and the varada mudra. Rarely, we see him carrying a pot of nectar in his right hand. Indeed, in his youth, Garuda had to transport the pot of nectar far from India, to fulfill a promise he had made to Kadru, the Mother of serpents.Son of Kashyapa and Vinatâ (one of the daughters of Daksha), he would have stolen Amrita, the Nectar of Immortality of the Gods, in order to save the life of his mother, prisoner of the Nâga to whom, subsequently, he had a mortal hatred. Indra tried to fight her to regain possession of the sacred brew but could only achieve this through persuasion, because Garuda's formidable power and indomitable courage dissuaded any brutal action.Garuda is the brother of Aruna, the charioteer of Sûrya. He had six sons from his union with Unnati.Other names of Garuda are Vajrâjit, "Stronger than lightning", Suparna, "He who has great wings", Garutmân, "The Chief of the Birds", Sitâtana, "He who has a white head", Gaganeshvara , "The Lord of the Sky", Rasayana, "He who is as fast as Mercury", Nagantaka, "The Destroyer of Naga Serpents", etc., so many names and epithets which underline his qualities.Miniature figurine from ThailandDimensions: approximately 34.4 x 30 mmref: i 29 - 270216 - 544The satisfaction of our customers is our Priority, as such, please take into account the following points: Delivery addressItems will be shipped to your EBAY account address unless you pay by PayPal.If paying via PayPal, the order can only be delivered to the address indicated in your PayPal account.ATTENTION : We cannot change the shipping address in case of PayPal payment, so please make sure the address is correct in your PayPal account before ordering.Delivery times that we indicate are always estimates and never commitments.The delivery of our items may be delayed by events beyond our control such as a health crisis, a strike, a customs clearance procedure, etc.Under no circumstances can we be held responsible for delivery delays, and we do not grant discounts or refunds in this regard.If you need to receive your order by a specific date such as a birthday or Christmas, we recommend ordering well in advance.We cannot "speed up" delivery, but we will do everything we can to ensure that you receive it as quickly as possible.Estimated delivery time by country and your delivery service:Metropolitan France: approximately 72 hours (Post Office) except Mondial Relay.EU countries: 1 week to 10 days depending on the countryCzech Republic: approximately 7 to 10 days.Australia: approximately 4 weeks.Canada: approximately 3 weeks.Iceland: approximately 10 days.Israel: approximately 4 weeks.Japan: approximately 4 weeks.Norway: approximately 10 days.Romania: approximately 2 weeks.United Kingdom: approximately 7 to 10 days depending on customs formalities.Russia: approximately 4 weeks.Singapore: approximately 4 weeks.Switzerland: approximately 1 week depending on customs formalities.Thailand: approximately 4 weeks.Ukraine: approximately 4 weeks.USA: approximately 10 to 30 days depending on the weight of the package and the state.Vietnam: approximately 4 weeks.Reminder : these deadlines are based on estimates and are given for purely indicative purposes, they do not constitute a commitment.Import customs formalities, customs duties and taxesPlease note that our warehouses are in France, our items, depending on the country of receipt of the package, may be subject to customs formalities and additional costs when you receive them.We deliver in Incoterms® DAP (delivered at destination), this means that the goods are considered delivered when they are made available to the buyer at destination on the arriving means of transport, without being unloaded.Consequently, it is the buyer who is responsible for customs formalities, payment of duties and taxes (in particular VAT) due due to importation and unloading of the goods at destination.We are not responsible for these charges and we cannot bill you in advance for these charges.For delivery outside the European Union, VAT and customs duties apply depending on the legislation of your country.Generally, Garuda has a human face and eagle wings.
