He is the son of the sage Kashyapa and Vinata, and the eternal enemy of the Nagas (serpents). In Hindu tradition, Garuda represents \u003cstrong\u003edivine speed, power, courage, loyalty, and the unstoppable force of devotion (bhakti)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003eGaruda Deepam (Pakshi Vilakku)\u003c\/strong\u003e form — where Garuda kneels and raises both arms to support a sacred lamp above his head — is one of the most profound and moving expressions of divine devotion in Hindu sacred art. It represents \u003cstrong\u003eGaruda’s supreme act of devotion to Lord Vishnu\u003c\/strong\u003e — offering the sacred light of the diya (the light of divine knowledge and consciousness) upward to the Lord, just as Garuda eternally carries Lord Vishnu on his wings. The \u003cstrong\u003elotus-petal diya bowl\u003c\/strong\u003e represents the sacred lotus of creation (Padma) and the divine light of Vishnu’s grace (Vishnu Jyoti) that illuminates all creation. The \u003cstrong\u003ered enamel interior\u003c\/strong\u003e of the diya bowl represents the sacred fire (Agni) and the divine energy (shakti) of the lamp. The \u003cstrong\u003esquare stepped plinth\u003c\/strong\u003e represents the four directions and the stable foundation of dharma. Garuda Deepam is especially auspicious for \u003cstrong\u003eVaikunta Ekadasi, Garuda Panchami, and all Vishnu pooja days (Ekadasi, Thursdays, and Saturdays)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use as a Diya \/ Deepam \/ Vilakku\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill the lotus-petal diya bowl with pure ghee or sesame oil.
