Navagunjara: A mythical creature composed of nine different animals

#Navagunjara represents the manifestation of Vishnu, in a form named Visvarupa. The complex figure has a bull’s hump on its slim waist, a peacock’s head and neck, and a serpent’s tail. It stands on three legs: A a tiger and a deer’s hind legs, and an elephant’s left foreleg. A lotus in full bloom is held in the shape of a human hand by the right foreleg. In some folktales, a rooster’s head is shown in place of a peacock’s.

In the tradition of Sri Jagannatha of Puri, Navagunjara is considered as representing Eswara (Supreme One) and as the Visva-rupa (Universal Form) of Krishna, an incarnation of Vishnu.
