Garuda Panchami is a festival dedicated to Garuda, Lord
Vishnu’s vahanam.It is observed on Shravan Sukla Paksha Panchami, the
fifth day of the waxing phase of the moon in the month of Shravana.
Garuda is commonly referred to as Pakshiraja, Vainateya, Suparna, Garuthman, Periya Tiruvadi, Vinatasuta, Vishnuvahana, Nagantaka and Kashyapeya. Garuda is engaged in eternal service to Lord Narayana at Sri Vaikuntam.
It is believed that his radiance is equal to that
of the SUN. Lord Garuthmantha on this Garuda Panchami freed his mother from slavery by bringing
AMRUTHAM, by defeating all Gods protecting it. He is very powerful and has
immense strength. Even Vajrayudha the primary weapon of King Indra could not
harm Garuthmantha.
