Sharabha
The Avatar of Shiva
Issue #14

Sharabha is a powerful part-lion and part-bird beast in Hindu mythology. It also appears in Tibetan art, Buddhist tales and more recently as a figure of power and majesty in numerous emblems. The story behind the birth of this mysterious creature is fascinating, and fires up one’s imagination.
