( earlier i had heard about some stories of garuda with egg).please anybody confirm ??? last month only i had gone to somnathpur, and i also wondered about this particular sculpture. anyway i had taken a photo of this to ask about this to my parents. but i had a guess that it would be garuda with an egg.

( btw, our beloved Raja Raja did Hiranya garbha yaaga - which is said to deliver one from the bondage of rebirth!!). Back to the subject - there are very unclear explanations of the Hiranya Garba aspect of cosmic creation. The egg floated along with the waters - but who created the Egg. Did the creator create the egg and then get inside it, who was born of the egg, the creator's creation or the creation to bear the job of the creator. vj hi Kathie,

But the Matsya at Som. also uses a fish's face rather than fish body, so it must be. Does it even look like a turtle's face? Another thought: personification of the golden germ- Hiranyagarbha.

Say one of the several made by RAMA? [one of sand is in Banganga at Mumbai, also] I had a crazy thought, the face above the BanaLingam is almost the same shape as the BanaLingam. could it be a ShivaLingam devoted to Vishnu for some reason?
