Jataya is a giant man-eagle that is the mount of Vishnu and is similar to the Garuda. Jataya was born from Anu and his wife Syeni. Aruna is the brother of Garuda and Syeni is the daughter of Tamra. He has a sibling called Sampati. Bothe began life as two balls of powerful energy. Jataya is also known as the ‘King of Vultures’. Whereas the Garuda has an eagle like head the Jataya has the head of a human. In one of the great adventures of Hindu myth, Jataya is killed by the Demon king Ravana.

Would you like to delve deeper into Hindu and Indian myth? Watch all these stories of Demons, heros and war in the 3D animation Ramayana (1997). The delightful cartoon Dashavatar (2008) tells the stories of the 10 incarnations of Vishnu who overcomes Demons and beasts to save the world. The best source for Hindu mythology is of course the books themselves.
