Garuda is a significant celestial figure in Buddhism, known for its protective qualities against nagas and malevolent spirits. Tibetan Buddhists often place a Garuda statue on an altar or prominent location, symbolizing its celestial essence and dominance over adversaries. Offerings such as incense, flowers, water, and symbolic items are arranged in front of the statue.
Tibetan Buddhists often recite mantras associated with Garuda, such as “Om Garuda Hum Svaha,” to invoke his powerful energy for protection and healing.
Garuda is usually depicted in intricate Tibetan Buddhist scroll paintings and is used in restorative practices like the Garuda Fire Puja. Garuda statues or images are sometimes incorporated into rituals to empower medicinal substances, particularly for ailments related to naga imbalances. However, what truly emphasizes the continuity and tradition of the practice is the annual observances of Garuda. Some Buddhist traditions observe special days honouring Garuda through unique pujas or ceremonies, a testament to the enduring significance of this celestial figure.
