Imperial Eagle

The eagle or garuda is the carrier of Lord Vishnu and symbolises the Soul, Jiva Atma, that carries the Super Soul, Param Atma. It is also considered a metaphor for speed and attentiveness.

The halo that rings in the eagle’s head is a chakra, Lord Vishnu’s weapon.

The eagle’s sense of sharp astuteness is captured by his piercing gaze and motionless body. Its upturned crest and large imposing torso evoke a sense of regality and boldness.
