Kinnara

By Crusader1307

Of Hindu Mythology ''Kinnara'' is Part Human, Bird and Horse. In Hindu mythos such Creatures were seen as blessed and well beloved. The Gods chose Kinnara to ''watch over Humans'' in ''time of difficulty''. The Kinnara can be found in many other Asian Cultures as well. Shown highly stylized in Art, statues of The Kinnara can be found ''guarding'' Temples and important buildings even today. In most cases, their images are made of Gold (as this is a sacred metal).
