According to the text "Silparatna", states Rao, Garuda is best depicted with only two hands and with four bands of colours: "golden yellow colour from feet to knees, white from knees to the navel, scarlet from navel to neck, and black above the neck". His hands, recommends the text, should be in "abhaya" (nothing to fear) posture. In "Sritatvanidhi" text, the recommended iconography for Garuda is a kneeling figure, who wears one or more serpents, pointed bird-beak like nose, his two hands in "namaste" posture. This style is commonly found in Hindu temples dedicated to Vishnu.
