Garuda adalah seekor burung mitologis, separo manusia, separo burung, wahana batara Wisnu. Ia adalah raja burung-burung dan merupakan keturunan Kaśyapa dan Winatā, salah seorang putri Dakṣa. Ia musuh bebuyutan ular, sebuah sifat yang diwarisinya dari ibunya, yang pernah bertengkar dengan sesama istri dan atasannya, Kadru, ibu para ular.
Sinar Garuda sangat terang sehingga para Dewa mengiranya Agni (Dewa Api) dan memujanya. Garuda seringkali dilukiskan memiliki kepala, sayap, ekor dan moncong burung elang, dan tubuh, tangan dan kaki seorang manusia. Mukanya putih, sayapnya merah, dan tubuhnya berwarna keemasan.
Ia memiliki putra bernama Sempati (Sampāti) dan istrinya adalah Unnati atau Wināyakā. Menurut kitab Mahabharata, orang tuanya memberinya kebebasan untuk memangsa manusia, tetapi tidak boleh kaum brahmana. Suatu ketika, ia menelan seorang brahmana dan istrinya. Lalu tenggorokannya terbakar, kemudian ia muntahkan lagi.
Garuda dikatakan pernah mencuri amerta dari para Dewa untuk membebaskan ibunya dari cengkeraman Kadru. Kemudian Indra mengetahuinya dan bertempur hebat dengannya. Amerta dapat direbut kembali, tetapi Indra luka parah dan kilatnya (bajra) menjadi rusak.
